Fergie ready for final day
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson remains highly confident his side will not end up trophy-less this season.
United can claim the Premier League title on Sunday with victory over Wigan - although any slip-up at the JJB Stadium could let second-placed Chelsea in.
Ferguson's men then face Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League final on 21st May and The Blues could end up denying United on two fronts - but the Scottish tactician cannot see that happening.
"Arsenal have produced fantastic quality this season but they haven't won anything and that is the measure of the League. It is such a tough competition to win," said Ferguson.
"We could face the same scenario as Arsenal. Although that is unthinkable, it is possible.
"We are talking about having to win two games to win two trophies, but I am confident. Of all the teams I have had down the years I'm very confident about taking this group of players to Wigan to get a result."
Ferguson has a huge belief in the team he will be putting out against Wigan will do the job.
"When I look at the names that will be on my team-sheet on Sunday I will have confidence in them because they have proved themselves and have belief," he added.
"But you can only judge a team by what it wins and we are conscious of that. Let's try and win the league first and then look at Moscow - but right now Sunday's game is the biggest one."
