We won't win the Quintuple this season, says Fergie

Sir Alex Ferguson admitted today he does not think Manchester United will win the Quintuple this season.

United have already claimed the FIFA Club World Cup and Carling Cup and lead the Premier League by four points with a game in hand over nearest rivals Chelsea and Liverpool.

But Ferguson thinks the biggest threat to his squad making history will come in the Champions League - the quarter-final draw is tomorrow - and the FA Cup which sees United face Everton in the semi-finals.

"The thing about cup football is you need to be the best but you also need a lot of luck and I think it's asking too much for all the games to go your way," said the United manager.

"But one thing I will say is, this squad is the best I have ever had in my 22 years here.

"At the moment, every attack fears our defence and every defence fears our midfield and attack. That gives you confidence but it is too tough a call."
