IS THIS THE END FOR CARLOS

'We have to try to beat everyone,' said Ferguson. 'That is the nature of our club. There is a great fascination about our results and how we play and this is just another page in the history of Manchester United. At the moment, no-one is putting together any kind of consistent form which would provide a challenge to Chelsea.’

'I think a lot of people are hoping we are the team who can beat them and, of course, with the ability in our team, that is certainly possible. But we have to do better than we did at Middlesbrough because on that form, we couldn't beat anyone.'
