He seems to be getting better and better.'[LNB] The win lifted United back to the top of the Premier League, although Ferguson admitted: 'It was harder than it should have been. I thought we played some great football, especially in the first half, and had a lot of opportunities to win the game, but in the last 10 minutes there was panic and Bolton had their chances. [LNB]'But they will do that to you. They can take points off anyone. They are an effective team, with a simple style of football, but it works for them and they had us under the cosh at the end. [LNB]'I've always said that games at the start of a season are tight because everyone is on their game. I'm just happy to have got the result.'[LNB] United 2 Bolton 1: Van der Sar rescues table-toppers from late embarassment Premier League live: Liverpool lose to 'balloon goal', Two off in Spurs victory and United go top of the tableUnited hero Giggs: Premier League's £100k-a-week stars worth every pennyMANCHESTER UNITED FC
