MANCHESTER: Sir Alex Ferguson has told his players to take a leaf out of his own book, put their worries to one side and concentrate on finishing the season on a high note – starting with today's local derby with Manchester City.
Just as the United boss was unwilling to dwell on his own health problems, he is determined that his players will not wallow in self-pity over the recent run of both bad luck and poor form which has left them out of the Champions League and with little chance of catching Arsenal in the league.
