Fergie: Fan Can Help United In Title Chase

Sir Alex Ferguson is urging the Easter Sunday crowd at Old Trafford to follow the example set by the away fans earlier this week, and roar the Red Devils to victory.

Speaking in his Good Friday press conference, the United boss praised the contribution made by supporters in the 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, and expressed his hope for more of the same against Mark Hughes’ QPR.

“The fans have been important over the years at this time of the season,” he said.”The surge they can give us in the last 15 minutes or so of games when they’re right behind us almost helps to suck the ball into the net. It’s a terrific feeling. They definitely give us an advantage.”

Sir Alex was also pleased with the patience shown by the supporters at Blackburn, given the breakthrough goal from Antonio Valencia didn’t arrive until the 81st minute.

“We had to wait for late goals on Monday night but the fans were fantastic at Blackburn from the first minute, they never stopped,” said Sir Alex.

“It would be great if they can create that for the rest of the games because it does help the players.
