Character Makes Man Utd the Favorites


Alan Hansen writes about why Manchester United is still the favorites for the English Premier League title-

We are talking about the most the most open race ever but there are still only three teams who I see winning it: Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United. If I was putting a bet on, then, for character and the ability to play poorly and win, then it would be United every single time.

If you play as badly as United did at Fulham, you come off the pitch and confidence is at rock bottom. This is where character comes in: Ferguson even admitted that the players were in the dressing room feeling sorry for themselves. I bet he said to them: "The minute you start feeling sorry for yourselves is the minute that we're finished."

It is an easy option to feel sorry for yourselves. You blame everybody in the world, but the only way you are going to get out of it is by sticking together and showing a huge amount of character, and that is what United do every time they go out on to the pitch.
