Sir Alex Ferguson says the agonies that come with battling for
honours are only worthwhile if Manchester United come out on
top.
United have two trophies to their name this term – the Club
World Cup and Carling Cup – and are also battling for silverware in
the FA Cup, Champions League and Premier League.
Ferguson’s side gave the chasing pack a glimmer of light with
defeat to Liverpool on Saturday and the Scot is content to go
through the wringer if it results in success.
"You only really relish it if you end up winning," he told
Inside United. "You're prepared to go through the agony as long as
you end up on top.
"It can be edgy, but you have to accept the challenge. Being
there is the greatest thing and that's what we are all striving
for."
