Ferguson concedes lower Man Utd scoring rate

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has shrugged off their lower scoring rate this season.

Ferguson said: "I haven't analysed that. I don't need to analyse that. I think as long as we're making chances, that's all I can ask. You hope you put a percentage of them away, of course, but there's still a few players at respectable goalscoring levels."

He conceded: "The one who's not at the same level as last year is Ronaldo, but he'll still score over 20 goals (for the season). We've got Berbatov on 13 or 14 goals, Rooney around that mark and Tevez around that too. So we're not too bad. If we get four or five over 20 goals, it puts you in the frame."
