Man Utd needs to improve to cut Manchester City’s Premier League lead: Ferguson

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admits that his club needs to improve to narrow the five-point gap on Premier League champions’ table leaders Manchester City.

Ferguson’s comment came after United recorded their third successive 1-0 victory on Saturday against Swansea City.

“Swansea have a great home record so we had to make sure we defended well — and I think we did that. They have a good football team and play the ball well. We have to concentrate all the time and that concentration was short today,” the Sun quoted Ferguson, as saying.

“We maybe should have done better with the chances we did get on the counter-attack and near the end we could have had a couple of goals, but it was a good result,” he added.
