Moyes retains top-four hope

DEFIANT Manchester United boss David Moyes insists his team can still finish in the league’s top four - despite the Reds’ goalless draw against title–challengers Arsenal.

United are now 11 points behind Liverpool – who took a dramatic late win at Fulham – after seeing Robin van Persie denied a likely winning goal by a brilliant save from Wojciech Szczesny.

United will go to a warm–weather training break in Dubai before they resume Premier League action at Crystal Palace on February 22.

Moyes insists the defending champions will not let up in the fight to close the gap on the

leading pack: “If there is one club in history who have been great at winning games in the second half of the season and putting pressure on the teams above, it is Manchester United.

Chances were at a premium between the two sides last night in a match which ultimately failed to live up to its hype.
