Ferguson doubts Chelsea challenge

Ferguson wants to retain his Premier League and Champions League crowns
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes Chelsea's ageing squad may struggle to challenge his side for major honours next season.

The Scot says Liverpool and Arsenal are as much of a threat to United's hopes of retaining the Premier League title.

"Chelsea are an experienced side and I don't see outstanding progress coming from a team in their 30s," he said.

"I wouldn't write off Liverpool or Arsenal. It has been understated what Arsenal achieved last season."

"I'm not concerned about Chelsea, I just don't know how far that team has got to go," stated Ferguson

"They have lots of experience and big-game temperament and in a sense Scolari is fortunate, joining a big club with a team of internationals.

"But it's hard to see where there is going to be an improvement. Maybe they have reached a plateau - although perhaps that's not the right word."
