Ferguson - Room for improvement
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits his side need to improve as they continue preparations for the new Premier League season.[LNB] The Red Devils boss saw his troops defeat Boca Juniors 2-1 in Munich in the pre-season Audi Cup on Wednesday as Anderson and debutant Antonio Valencia both scored.[LNB]Ferguson was pleased with the win, but believes there is room for improvement in his Premier League champions.[LNB]"I am satisfied with winning, which is always the main aim, but I didn't think we played particularly well," he said.[LNB]"Maybe it's a realisation that we are coming into a better standard of football after being in the Far East where the games were obviously not as competitive as today.[LNB]"But hopefully it brings us on. Boca were the better team in the second half and probably deserved something out of the game."[LNB]SatisfiedFerguson was delighted with the performance of Valencia, who moved to Old Trafford this summer from Wigan.[LNB]"I think he will figure in many games," said the Scot.[LNB]"It was his first game. He missed pre-season because he had to go back to Ecuador for a work permit so therefore, for his first game, we are very satisfied.[LNB]"He is a good athlete, has good power and running ability, as we saw today with the way he created a good goal.[LNB]"Maybe it was a mistake by the goalkeeper, but he created the opportunity and opened up spaces for himself."[LNB]The only sour note for United was the sight of Wes Brown limping off after just 35 minutes, but Ferguson insists he was only removed as a precaution.[LNB]"He felt a little pull on his thigh and there is no point carrying on in a pre-season game," he said.[LNB]
