Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits the manner of losing the title to Manchester City burns him up.

Fergie remains furious at the way his side lost the title on goal difference on a dramatic final day of the season to bitter rivals Manchester City.

He admitted: "I've lost my temper and I'm angry. If you lose the league like that, it's hard to swallow.

"But once the season is over you have to say 'Right, OK, we will just go again'. That is the great quality we have at this club.

"People may say Manchester City are the team to beat but I don't agree. We are the team to beat because of the way we react, the way we have bounced back in the past."
