Ferguson demands total focus from Man Utd players in title battle

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will demand focus from his players today against Bolton Wanderers.

A 5.30pm start means United will know their rivals' results before kick-off, but he believes his team's experience of keeping their nerve in the title run-in will ensure it is not a problem.

He said: "If results go our way, would that make any difference to our attitude going on the pitch at Bolton? If Chelsea and Arsenal win, we still have to go and beat Bolton.

"We've got to dismiss what's happening elsewhere and concentrate on our game.

"I look upon tomorrow as my Cup Final. Every one will be that way now. Then it's on to the next one and the next. Winning the league is not easy and that's why our experience will be vital."
