Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has played down talk of
a 'Quintuple' after lifting the Carling Cup yesterday.
United are now seven points clear in the Barclays Premier
League, with a game in hand, and success in both the FA Cup and the
Champions League would enable Ferguson's team to eclipse any
previous single-season achievement in the English game.
However, while the Scot knows it can be done, he feels the odds
remain on his side coming a cropper somewhere along the line.
"It would be great to think we could do it, but my experience
says we could go to Fulham next weekend, there will be a deflected
shot off someone's backside and we're out of the FA Cup," he
said.
"I won't get carried away with it and the rest of the players
will keep their feet on the ground.
"The best thing we can do is gather ourselves, energise
ourselves for Newcastle on Wednesday, which will be a very
difficult game for us, and go from there, taking it one step at a
time."
