Sir Alex Ferguson responded to Roberto Mancinias jibe that Manchester United have now been aluckya by declaring that City are lucky to be only 12 items behind. Mancini said that Unitedas alucka was best exhibited by the amount of activities they have gained in the last short while aincluding against usa. But, Ferguson, who has seen his part take 27 items from dropping this season to roles, was withering in his assessment of the Manchester City boss. aHe is fortunate they are only 12 items behind. It is not happy we score late goals; we have only been doing it for 25 years. It's an awful habit,a he said. In a series of interviews with teachers from Harvard University a year ago, the United director encouraged some of the clubas training practices were created with late goals at heart. Ferguson would not elaborate yesterday but added: aThe late goals are no accident. We did it to win the treble in 1999 a' every step of just how we got late objectives. Because this is a group that really wants to gain most of the time.a It's no accident this time Following signing of a fresh one-year agreement, this afternoonas experience with Norwich City will be Ryan Giggsa 1,000th elderly game, accurate documentation Ferguson expects not to be equalled. Should United overcome the Canaries at Old Trafford a' which they have just once failed to do since 1989 a' Mancini may find himself 15 details adrift by the time City start at Aston Villa on Monday night. That is the largest difference between Unitedas try to win a treble now and the time the feat was achieved by them. Then, Ferguson suggested that what held his part on track was that, in the Premier League, Arsenal pressed them to ab muscles end. At this time of the 1998-99 time Manchester United were eight points free from ArsAne Wengeras side. The league was won by them by one. aThe characteristics to 1999 are which our FA Cup run was a tough one and our European connections were really hard,a said Ferguson. aWe were in friends with Barcelona and Bayern Munich and got a against Inter Milan and a semi-final against Juventus. We got Real Madrid directly this season. In the FA Cup, we have had Premier League teams all the time a anything we experienced in 1999 also.a The greatest sport on Unitedas horizon, the 2nd leg of these Champions League experience with Real Madrid, has become squarely on the horizon. Even though Jose Mourinhoas part will have endured consecutive suits against Barcelona prior to going to Old Trafford on Tuesday, nothing Ferguson found at the Nou Camp this week left him satisfied. aI was shocked,a he explained of Realas 3-1 get in the Copa Del Rey. aI believed Real Madrid were wonderful, I truly did. They won well with Ronaldo, Di Maria and Ozil on the counter-attack.That is what we will be facing on Tuesday and that is what our formulations are centring on a' ensuring their counter-attacking doesnat destroy us.a
