Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson accepted that his side had almost been embarrassed in their 4-3 victory at home to Hull City.

United were 4-1 ahead just before the hour mark at Old Trafford, but allowed the Tigers to come roaring back and almost snatch an unlikely share of the spoils.

Ferguson said: "We're a bit low after that performance. We didn't take our chances and that's annoying.

"We should have won by ten or eleven and we ended up scrambling for a victory. We might have been embarrassed at the end.

"Cristiano Ronaldo could have had four or five on his own and I don't know how many chances Dimitar Berbatov created.

"I suppose the only thing to take out of it, apart from the win, is the fact we are creating so many opportunities for ourselves."
