Mind games eh?
'Manchester United are not out of the championship yet.
'Nor will they be, until it becomes mathematical. Even if we beat them in the league game it would not put them mathematically out of contention. I am sorry if that sounds a little bit cautious, but I know Manchester United. It is too early to talk of what we might win yet, and it is much too early to talk of a treble. Until you win the FA Cup semi-final you are not even in a position to think of a treble. All I would say is that the team who win our semi-final have a good chance of winning the Cup.
'Manchester United have as many points as they had after the same number of games last season. Yet the judgment is they were outstanding last season and not so this year.
'The only difference is we have improved in quality and efficiency.
'I feel United have started to rejuvenate their team a little and I must say they have bought some outstanding talent.'
