Standup9ja - Sir Alex Ferguson Tells United To Focus On
Europa Le
Sir Alex Ferguson has told Manchester United to focus most
of their attention on winning the Europa league to ensure champions league
qualification.
United are already fifth on the table, four points behind
fourth-placed Liverpool , looks like the battle to finish in the top four will
go down to the wire.
The Red Devils are already in the quarterfinals of the
Europa league, facing Anderlecht come April.
“The thing is, we’ve never won the Europa League,” Ferguson
told ESPN FC. “We’ve never won the UEFA Cup, what it used to be. And we’ve got
a great draw. I’m not saying it’s a certainty, but they’ve got a great chance.
“It gets you into the Champions League, too — it didn’t used
to but it does now, and so that’s a great incentive. And there’s no Sevilla in
it, so that’s good.
“If you win a trophy, it’s important. It’s a European
trophy. It doesn’t matter that it’s not the Champions League — it’s still a European
trophy. And if you win it, you get into the Champions League. The incentive is
greater to do that.
“And your CV gets bigger. If we won the Europa League?
Fantastic. Add it to the European Cup, the Cup Winners’ Cup, the Champions
League – It’s bigger and bigger. We also want to be the most successful club in
England.”
