Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has laughed off Chelsea rival Guus Hiddink's "love it" speech this week.

"What people say doesn't bother me," explained the boss. "I have tried it myself a few times - you hope it disturbs your opponents and they get nervous.

"I can assure everyone, we will drop points during the run-in but so will the others.

"I won't get over-excited about things. As I have always said, if we win a major trophy - to me that is the Premier League or the Champions League - I would be delighted."
