Exciting times, says Fergie

Sir Alex Ferguson says Manchester United have placed themselves in a fantastic position with the winning post in sight.

The Treble dream is still alive at Old Trafford, as United sit at the top of the Premiership and are through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

Ferguson has seen it all before, having guided the club to the Treble in 1999, but the wily Scot admits it is an exciting period for the club.

"It is an exciting time here, there is no question about that.

"The players and their attitude to the way they are playing at the moment gives me encouragement. They are enjoying their football.

"Hopefully we can capitalise on the players' form and their determination to do well and then hopefully we'll be okay."
