Ferguson ready for more challenges

Sir Alex Ferguson knows more about determination than most and never was it more amply displayed than by his latest Manchester United team at Chelsea.
Facing the equivalent of a footballing Everest, United came back from 3-0 down to grab a point at Stamford Bridge but neither Ferguson's team nor Chelsea will see it as being enough.
The draw leaves United at 7.50 to retain their Premier League title while Chelsea are now 351.00 to claim a top-four place.

Sir Alex Ferguson
With Jose Mourinho almost certainly on his way back to the Premier League, with Chelsea and Manchester City favourites to grab him, life may be even tougher for Ferguson next season.
But he's not unused to overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds, declaring: "It's like climbing a mountain. I've climbed Mount Donald in Scotland and when you get up there it's a fantastic feeling and you want to stay there.
"We had ten years battling with Arsenal. They were a tough side and the games were pretty physical and controversial for a spell.
"Then came Chelsea and they got off to great starts under Mourinho and we weren't able to catch them. But it's not easy. It's a tough league and we are finding that with City this season."
