Arshavin: Ferguson makes the difference at Man Utd

Arsenal ace Andrey Arshavin feels Sir Alex Ferguson is the difference between success and failure at Manchester United.

Ferguson is in his 25th year as manager of the Red Devils, having just won his 12th Premier League title to overtake Liverpool's overall haul of 18 with the club's 19th top-flight trophy.

Arshavin told Sport-Express: "First of all you have to ask Alex Ferguson about the secret of the victories.

"I think Manchester United have everything (to win) for 20 years - the players' quality, the team spirit and the psychology of winning.

"In the team one can discover the mixture of young and seasoned players and also Alex Ferguson's strictness in how he builds his team as he thinks it's important."
