Ferguson simply eyeing one trophy at a time for Man Utd

Sir Alex Ferguson says that Manchester United do not set out to win a certain amount of trophies each season but simply go about each competition on its own merits.

As the Red Devils prepare for tomorrow's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Chelsea at Old Trafford, Ferguson made it clear that it is not a pre-season goal of the famous club to state what they want to win but they merely do their best in each competition and see what pans out.

"The treble is not a motivation," he said as United remain on top of the league and find themselves in the FA Cup semi-final.

"Our motivation is each competition. If that amounts to winning the double, a single trophy each year or the treble so be it.

"I don't think the players who won the treble were saying 'this is it, we want to win the treble'.

"It is about making sure this club wins a trophy every year. If you win one and you see another one, you want to try to win that."
