Manchester United's Premiership destiny will be decided on the
road, according to Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
United are currently six points clear of Chelsea at the top of the
table but have some tricky looking away trips left between now and
13th May - the date of their final game of the season at home to
West Ham.
As well as being forced to visit Stamford Bridge and Anfield, home
of arch-rivals Liverpool, Ferguson must also negotiate trips to
another quartet of grounds as he seeks to claim his ninth
Premiership crown.
As such, the veteran boss believes the destination of the trophy
will be decided by how United fare on their travels, with Chelsea
looking to take advantage of any blip in their form.
"There are two big ones at Liverpool and Chelsea, but Fulham,
Portsmouth, Everton and Manchester City will all be hard," said
Ferguson in the Daily Star.
"Our destiny lies in those away games."
Ferguson is hoping that star striker Wayne Rooney can help United
maintain their momentum in what remains of the campaign.
The England international has claimed four goals in his last five
games and is close to recapturing his best form according to the
Old Trafford chief.
"If Wayne can reach the kind of form he achieved this time last
year we have got an even better chance," Ferguson added.
"He was devastating last year and there are glimpses of that coming
back now.
"Scoring against Arsenal, his double against Portsmouth and another
one against Watford - these are all signs that he is getting
back."
