Manchester United have now gone an incredible three months
without conceding a Premier League goal, leaving their tally at ten
from 24 games in total.
That puts Sir Alex Ferguson's men well on the way toward breaking
Chelsea's record of 15 goals shipped in a season, set when they won
the 2004-05 crown under Jose Mourinho.
Edwin van der Sar has been central to the Red Devils' stinginess,
and he reckons the rest of England's top flight are shaking in
their boots at the very thought of trying breach United's back
line.
The Dutch goalkeeper said in The Sun, “When we go 1-0 up,
teams think ‘Oh s**t here we go’.
“That’s what we want — fear in the opposition. That’s what we want
— fear in the opposition.
“It’s a great achievement for the whole team.”
United currently lead the league, with two points and a game in
hand on second-placed Liverpool.
