Fergie: It has been a good day for us

Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased after watching Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 2-0.

Arsenal and Chelsea both slipped to defeats to allow United to go level on points at the top of the table with Chelsea.

Ferguson said: “It has been a good day for us, no question of that.

“If you had said at the start of the day would you take being joint top of the league I would have said ‘yes’.

“We know that come the second half of the season we will definitely get better and now we are joint top with Chelsea.”
