Sir Alex Ferguson says Leicester City have been
“the best team without question” in the Premier League this season and would be
worthy winners of the title.
The former Manchester United manager, who won 13
league titles in a 26-year career with the club, added that the East Midlands
side’s central-defensive partnership is key to their success.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Ferguson said: “They’ve got the
experience of [Robert] Huth and [Wes] Morgan at the back. They know how to head
the ball clear, they know how to tackle – they know how to defend.”
Leicester currently have a five-point lead over
Tottenham, which could be cut to two if Spurs beat Liverpool in the late game
on Saturday. Yet despite the north London side’s strong form, Ferguson believes
the Foxes will hold them at bay despite having been heavily backed for
relegation after they appointed Claudio Ranieri to succeed Nigel
Pearson last summer.
“I can only see Tottenham being the danger to them,”
Ferguson added. “At the moment they’re playing some of the best football I’ve
seen from any Tottenham team for many, many years. But Leicester have got the
edge, they’ve got that togetherness. The consistency has been there all season.
Leicester have got the bit between their teeth, they’ve been the best team
without question throughout the season and they deserve to win it.”
