Fergie targets derby joy after cup exit

SIR Alex Ferguson has challenged Manchester United to bounce back from their FA Cup exit by sealing the league title with a strong win against City at Old Trafford next week.
A fantastic goal from Demba Ba, and an equally impressive save from Petr Cech, put an end to United's Cup hopes yesterday.

The 1–0 defeat dashed Ferguson's hopes of lifting his first FA Cup in nine years.

But the Scot knows the disappointing defeat will be all but forgotten if United beat their fierce neighbours City at Old Trafford on Monday.

Victory will put the Reds 18 points clear, with seven games left.

A miracle would then be the only thing to prevent United clinching their 20th title.

"It was disappointing to lose, but we now have to forget all about it," the United boss said..

"We are still in a good position and I believe a positive result for us on Monday will just about seal the title for us.”
