Injuries undermining treble bid - Ferguson
Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted it will be far harder for Manchester United to land the treble this season than it was in 1999.
United still have the chance to emulate their historic achievements of 12 seasons ago, even though they must overcome Chelsea in the Champions League, Manchester City in the FA Cup and retain their current status at the top of the Premier League.
But it is not Ferguson's opponents that bother him so much as the mounting injuries he is having to contend with.
"It is going to be more difficult than it was in 1999," said the Red Devils boss. "We didn't have the injuries we do now.
"There is a great desire to do it but we have so many injuries to defenders at present.
"We will never give in though. No matter what happens, you always feel Manchester United will score in the last minute. We must have a chance but it is more difficult than it has ever been."
