Fergie:
"We had to add players because David May left the club, Laurent Blanc retired, and we sold David Beckham and Seba Veron. We were forced into the situation, but Arsenal never lost any players."
"That is when I start to look at things. Sometimes we have been two or three points behind, sometimes we have been in front but the main thing is to be there.
"You can't say tomorrow's game is crucial because it is so early in the season but hopefully we will get a result which will be significant when the medals are handed out."
