Blog : Crerand feeling confident


Reds legend and MUTV pundit Paddy Crerand isn't expecting any slip-ups at Wigan this evening...

So United’s game in hand is finally here, and I’m confident we’ll make the most of it at the JJB Stadium tonight.

United have hit form at just the right time in the last few weeks and the manager has got it spot on with his team selections in every game. He picks an eleven he believes is right for each match, while always thinking about the matches ahead, and every time he does it, it seems to work.

He rested a few players in the win over City and I think the likes of Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes may start this evening. Wigan will be under no pressure, but they’ve been having a bad time of it recently with just one point from their last five games. It looks like they’ll be without their goalkeeper Chris Kirkland too with a back injury which is a blow for them. They’ll be up against a United side who will be desperate to get the title wrapped up as soon as possible.

Going to the JJB will, of course, bring back great memories of last season’s title party when we won it on the final day. Ronaldo set us on the way with a goal from the penalty spot, before Ryan came off the bench to seal it. It was a fantastic day for everyone and I hope the United fans have another great night tonight.

The chance to play in the Champions League final will be a great motivator for the players to keep up the high standards in the last three league games, too. Everyone wants to play in Rome and all the players will be doing their best to impress the manager in the run-up to the final. For that reason I’ll don’t think there’ll be any slip-ups. We’re just four points away from glory now and victory will mean we’re almost there.
