match is at 12.10 am.. there's nearly 5 hrs gap

Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that Manchester United can't afford to drop more points against Arsenal on Saturday afternoon, particularly given his team struggled against all the big four last season, registering just one win in six outings.

United have already lost to Burnley so far this season, while Arsene Wenger's men have picked up maximum points from their two games, scoring ten goals in the process and Fergie believes it must get better.

''We dropped six points to Liverpool, four to Arsenal and two to Chelsea,'' he reflected. ''We need to address that and do better. One opportunity comes along on Saturday. We have lost one game and we cannot afford to lose another.''

Ferguson, however, took time to pay tribute to his arch-rival Wenger as the pair have been scrapping away for 13 years, and at no point has the mutual respect been as evident as it is now.

''When Arsene came to Arsenal at first there were feisty things between the clubs and that probably transferred itself into both managers,'' Ferguson said. ''But there has always been a respect for the work that has been done by both managers and for each other, nothing has changed in that respect.

''We are winners. That is why we are at big clubs like United and Arsenal. The history of both clubs means you have to be number one. Arsene and I have been here for such a long time that it's hard to imagine you're not going to have one or two arguments in that period of time.

''New managers come in and vanish after a couple of years so there's no longevity. Now it is just the two of us, so we will probably ride out in the sunset together.''

Some have claimed that Ferguson no longer wishes to argue with Wenger because he does not feel Arsenal are a threat. Yet the United manager feels the Gunners are still capable of mounting a challenge at the top end of the table.

''It is an impressive start - six goals at Everton - but I think the thing that is maybe overlooked a little bit is that he has got quite a young team that you expect to improve,'' Ferguson added. ''I don't remember anyone scoring six at Everton before.

''Arsenal have to make up that ground from last season and maybe they lack the experience of ourselves and Liverpool and Chelsea, but nonetheless they will be there, I'm sure of that.''

Many pundits felt Arsenal might have been kissing goodbye to their top-four hopes by letting two of their star men leave for a major rival, Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor signing for Manchester City. The Blues have certainly benefited but Arsenal have not exactly struggled without them.

''One thing Arsene Wenger has done fantastically well is sell at the right time,'' Ferguson said. ''He has always known the right time for a player to leave and he has done it again with Adebayor and Toure.

''It is not easy to manage that kind of change but I don't think the level of ability has changed one bit and he seems to have a good harmony in the squad.''
