Ferguson reveal a stronger Man Utd
|
Sir Alex Ferguson admits he "takes great heart" from Manchester United's superb start to the season after four successive Premiership wins.
The United boss will be looking for his side to extend their unbeaten start on Wednesday when they face Celtic in the Champions League.
Ferguson said: "Our critics have been quick to point out that we won our first three league games last season only to lose one and then draw two of the next three.
"I would suggest, though, that there is a totally different background this season.
"Last year I was picking my strongest side when we won the opening fixtures.
"This time we have opened with a run of injuries and suspensions that have seen Gary Neville, Gabriel Heinze, Nemanja Vidic, Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes on the sidelines.
"Yet we have still won and I take great heart from that."
