WIGAN are looking forward to being the most
hated team on the planet — by wrecking Manchester United’s title
dream. Chairman Dave Whelan knows United’s 330million fans
worldwide will probably never forgive his club if they deny Alex
Ferguson’s side all three points at the JJB Stadium on
Sunday.
That would surely hand the title to Chelsea, who
entertain Bolton in their final game. But even though Whelan is a
great admirer of Fergie, he vowed the visitors would be getting no
favours from Steve Bruce’s men.
Whelan declared: “We would probably be the most
disliked team in the world if we win. But we don’t mind that. We’re
going to give it a go. “Talk of us rolling over and letting Sir
Alex’s team win is rubbish. There is nothing we would like better
than to roll Manchester United over.
“If we can beat United, we’ll do it. Our lads are up
for it big style. They are relaxed and confident after our
fantastic win at Aston Villa last week, which guaranteed we would
stay up. “If the players put on another performance like that, I’d
say United have a hell of a fight on.
“This match will be beamed worldwide and that is a
fantastic opportunity. We are on centre stage of the Premier
League. That’s huge.”
