Man Utd boss Ferguson left frustrated by sloppy defending

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson remains frustrated with their defending after last night's 3-2 Champions League win over Braga.

Braga, like Stoke, scored twice on United's home turf including a shock opening goal.

"It's been the story of our season really at home, starting badly, conceding goals and having to fight back to rescue games. And it's the front players who are doing that for us," admitted Sir Alex.

"It is a concern we're losing a lot of goals, but I must say some of our football was terrific tonight, we played some fantastic football and we created a lot of chances. We kept a really good momentum to our game and played with good speed.

"We got a result most people would not have expected us to get after being 2-0 down - being 2-0 down in a European tie is very difficult - but credit to the players for the way we came back."
