Ferguson will relish Chelsea battle (0)

Sir Alex Ferguson welcomed Luiz Felipe Scolari to the Premier League in trademark fashion - namely with a psychological dig below the belt in the shape of a jibe about Chelsea's ageing squad.
It was the first shot in a phoney war rather than a serious assessment of a Chelsea side that pushed United to the last day in the title race and came within a penalty kick of beating them in the Champions League final in May.
But it will be intriguing to see Ferguson's theory put to the test at Stamford Bridge on Sunday as a United team who have made a poor start to the season face Chelsea, who are on a mission to make a nonsense of his comments.
