Sir Alex Ferguson

Although I think he can be a bit of a prick sometimes, it is good to see him acknowledge our support.

He praised both the team and the supporters in this article:

Sir Alex Ferguson has already put Manchester United's semi-final heartache behind him as he focuses on the league clash with Newcastle.

United travel to Tyneside to take on the Magpies on Tuesday and Ferguson insists this is a huge moment in their quest for their 19th league title.

Despite losing at Wembley on Saturday, Ferguson is already looking for his side to focus on their clash at St James' Park.

He said: "Going to Newcastle is the most important game we have coming up because the league is still our first priority.

"The Premier League and the Champions League are the two priorities at this time.

"The players had a big adrenaline surge for the FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City but we need to win on Tuesday.

"And that's why Newcastle and the home game with Everton next Saturday are vital - after that there are only four games left and then we go to Arsenal the following week.

Absolutely crucial

"So Tuesday is absolutely crucial for us and I think everybody knows when you go to Newcastle you have to deal with the atmosphere up there.

"They have fantastic supporters and you know they will be on your backs because they probably need three extra points, although I don't see them threatened with relegation.

"We have had some brilliant games up there and some high-scoring games. We have had some defining results up there but I haven't forgotten we got slaughtered once 5-0 at St James' Park - and I think they are still selling the videos!"

Wayne Rooney will be available at Newcastle after serving his two-match ban for swearing down a television camera, and Ferguson is ready to unleash the England star on the Magpies.

"He has such great energy but it's fair to say his FA ban means he will be fresh for the Newcastle game," he said.

"Wayne had a difficult start to the season because things were happening off the pitch and it wasn't the best of times, but he is playing with great confidence now."

Dalglish

Meanwhile, Ferguson has tipped Liverpool to become a force again under Kenny Dalglish.
"The competition is much more severe now," he said.

"Four years ago we were talking about the top four but now you are talking about the top six.

"I think that towards the end of the Benitez reign was a bad time for them but Kenny has galvanised them and Liverpool will challenge next year."
