Ferguson is not sweating despite shock defeat to Burnley

Sir Alex Ferguson insists he is not concerned about Manchester United's goal-scoring problems despite managing just one goal in their first two Premier League matches.

The champions beat Birmingham 1-0 on Sunday but slipped to an embarrassing 1-0 defeat at Burnley in their second match of the season on Wednesday.

Ferguson is still getting to grips with life without Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez as United have failed to convince at the start of the campaign.

The United manager felt his side still created plenty of chances against the Clarets and thinks they could run riot at Wigan tomorrow if they come up with a similar number of opportunities.

Ferguson, who saw Michael Carrick's penalty saved at Turf Moor, insists his team will quickly bounce back from losing their second match of the season.

He said: "I'm sure we'll get a response on Saturday. We're all disappointed it was a bad result.

"It was a terrific pitch so that's no excuse. We just should have done better with it.

"We usually take our time to get going. Sometimes it's October before we get into our best form. But we shouldn't be losing these games.
