Ferguson bemoans missed opportunity

05 February 2011 21:59
Sir Alex Ferguson admitted Manchester United blew a major opportunity after losing their 29-match unbeaten record at Wolves. Victory against the Barclays Premier League's bottom side would have allowed United to open up a seven point advantage over second-placed Arsenal. But on a sensational day in the top flight, the visitors failed to capitalise on Nani's third-minute opener and eventually succumbed rather more meekly than anyone could have imagined. "It was an opportunity," said Ferguson. "I said before the game, I do think Wolves are in a false position. "But we had a great start. We made a lot of chances, particularly in the first half. "Then in the second we were not at the races. Their keeper did not have many saves to make. The pitch was not very good but we didn't make anything."
