Sir Alex Ferguson did his best to dispel any doubts about Manchester United's challenge for the Premier League title by insisting his side were on course for glory despite dropping points in a 1-1 draw away to Birmingham.

Ferguson is desperate to regain the title from stuttering champions Chelsea and he will enter the New Year with United in the place which he feels sends out danger signals to all those jostling for position behind the Red Devils. "I think we've a chance with the title," United manager Ferguson said.

"At this moment in time there are five or six teams who are all contesting that area.

"I always say if you get to New Year in first position, Manchester United have a big chance then."

"I have no complaints with my team. They fought hard and worked hard (against Birmingham) after only two days' rest," the Scot added.
