Manchester United Play Norwich City

Sir Alex Ferguson

After a dis­ap­point­ing res­ult against Swiss side FC Basel in the UEFA Cham­pi­ons League on Tues­day, Manchester United pre­pare to take on Premier League new boys Nor­wich City at Old Traf­ford this week­end. Manchester United dropped their first league points of the cam­paign with a 1–1 draw against Stoke City on Sat­urday, while The Canar­ies man­aged to beat Steve Bruce´s Sun­der­land 2–1 at Car­row Road last Monday.

Sir Alex Fer­guson: “The attack­ing part was very good at times, but there was a cer­tain care­less­ness about us, FC Basel could really have scored three goals in the first half. We played too many play­ers for­ward on the pitch tonight, far too many. But as it proved by doing that there were so many gaps in the mid­field to the back four. Really if we had con­cen­trated on the defens­ive part, I don’t think we would have had our problems.”
