Fergie fires title warning

Sir Alex Ferguson fired a warning to the club’s title rivals following Wedensday’s 5-0 demolition of Wigan, claiming the Red Devils would only get better in 2010. The result leaves United just two points off the EPL summit. "The second half of the season is when experience counts and we have that and we have the squad,” said the fiery Scot afterwards. "The key is getting the defence fit and then we'll be a much better team." Nemanja Vidic’s return from injury has allowed Ferguson to select a more familiar defence in their last two matches and United have responded with comfortable wins over Hull and Wigan. Regular defenders Rio Ferdinand, Johnny Evans and John O'Shea however are still sidelined. "There is no doubt that having a settled defence makes all the difference to us," added Fergie.
