Best So Far

Last updated : 21 October 2007 By Ed

Ferguson believes that the first 45 minutes against Villa were the best the team has played so far this season.

"The performance was absolutely superb, probably our best of the season,"

"The first half in particular was absolutely excellent.

"It's been disappointing we haven't scored more goals and that was a big surprise considering the players we've had available, although Tevez and Anderson did miss pre-season.

"I don't think the sendings off affected the result but it did give us an easier task in the second half."

United travel to Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Tuesday and Ferguson added:

"It's a big game obviously, European football is a special occasion and we're going in there in good form, but it's not an easy place to go to."
