Sir Alex Ferguson is confident his side will start scoring, and insists he isn’t panicking because of the Reds’ run of 1-0 victories.

United have racked up six such scorelines in the last eight games, but it doesn’t overly concern the Reds boss.

“I’ve got no worries about our form,” Sir Alex said at his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off against Wigan. You can watch the full video clip on MUTV Online now.

“It’s great,” he added, “we get criticised for winning 1-0, but if we won 5-1 people would say the defence has gone to pieces!

“There are valid reasons for the delay [in reaching top form]; Rooney’s injury, Ronaldo’s suspension, the international breaks, which every club has had to contend with. And it’s difficult to keep the continuity going when your players are away for two weeks at a time.

“But [scoring goals] is going to happen. I just hope it’s soon rather than later. But it’s all coming together with this team and we will score goals.”

In the full press conference clip, the manager discusses his squad’s injury problems, praises Wigan’s new boss Chris Hutchings and deliberates which striker he will choose to play alongside Wayne Rooney – Carlos Tevez or Louis Saha.
