Fergie hoping for Wigan win to keep Premier League chances alive

London, May 8 (ANI): Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hopes that Wigan does them a favour by beating table toppers Chelsea.

If Wigan beats Chelsea on Sunday then Manchester United, who trails by one point from leaders, has a strong chance to lift the Premier League title.

"All I know is we are in that situation where we hope, that's all we can do - hope. We have confidence Wigan will do their best and try," The Sun quoted Ferguson, as saying.

"There's no question about that. We can do our job and it's pointless going expecting anything from Chelsea in our favour," he said.

"In a way it helps us because we can express ourselves as we did last week against Sunderland.

"If it goes to the last game of the season as it's done five times here - yeah, so what? It's not a problem for us. You don't mind winning anything with the last kick," Ferguson added. (ANI)
