Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson expressed confidence in his team's ability to reach the UEFA Champions League knockout stage despite the defeat to FC Copenhagen on Wednesday. "We still have confidence we can go through - we just have to make sure we concentrate on our next match,” Ferguson told a news conference in Denmark. "It is a throwaway for us, but we are still in a good position - this result just tells us you need an edge to your game in these matches," he added. A goal from Swedish international Markus Allback was enough to give the Danish side their first victory in Group F.
Ferguson remains confident Despite the defeat, United are still in charge of the group on 9 points, three ahead of their closest competitors and next opponents, Celtic, who also lost to Benfica 3-0 on Wednesday. "We had enough possession to win, but you have to take your chances. We want to go to Celtic and win now," the Scotsman said. "If we win the match, we win the group."
