Praise indeed from Man Utd boss for Stoke style of play

Fri, 09/23/2011

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has never had any concerns with Stoke's style of play ahead of the Reds visit to the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.

United have enjoyed their recent visits to Staffordshire, having won on all three of their trips since Stoke returned to the top flight.

Sir Alex Ferguson's team have been free-scoring in their opening five games, netting 21 goals, but the Potters have not conceded at home.

Ferguson said: "I've never criticised it (Stoke's style of play). It's never been a problem for us.

"Everyone plays to their strengths. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

"You see the progress the team is making. They have signed two or three players, they are playing European football and having a right go.

"They have a great attitude and their support is brilliant.

"I love the atmosphere there. If you don't attend to that you just get engulfed."
