Ferguson convinced Man Utd now peaking just at right time

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson feels his team is now peaking after victory over Schalke.

The return leg of the Champions League semi-final, at Old Trafford next Wednesday night, is sandwiched between two games that will all but decide the destiny of the domestic league title. The Reds are ready for all of them, insists Sir Alex, as he reflects on a job well done in Germany.

"The players are relishing these games," Ferguson told manutd.com. "I think we're coming to a peak.

"There was a fantastic atmosphere (inside Schalke's Veltins-Arena) tonight but it never bowed our players once. They kept on playing their football, showing confidence and trust in one another.

"Our concentration, the intensity of our play and the speed of our passing were all excellent tonight.

"It was a top performance. I'm really pleased with the players, every one of them has done fantastically well tonight."
