Alex Ferguson demands victory over Otelul Galati
Posted Tuesday, November 01, 2011 by The Sun
ALEX FERGUSON is demanding victory over Otelul Galati tomorrow to set up what he believes will be a Group C decider with Benfica.
A 2-0 win in Romania over Galati got Manchester United's Champions League campaign back on track, putting them second behind the Portuguese side.
Fergie said: "We have to win. We're at home and I expect us to win. If we do that, it's in our hands when we play Benfica at home.
"I expect Benfica to beat Basel as they're in a bit of disarray with Thorsten Fink going to Hamburg.
"We'll hopefully win our game and, when we play Benfica at home, it'll be the decider."
While Galati are bottom of the group without any points from their opening three games, they still tested United in Bucharest before two Wayne Rooney penalties sealed victory.
So Fergie does not expect his side to have it all their own way at Old Trafford tomorrow night.
He said: "Nobody turns them over. Their games against Basel and Benfica had been tight and they were exactly that way against us.
"Galati set out their stall to make sure they weren't going to be embarrassed. They were well organised."
