Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is happy with what he's seeing from his defence after their win at Swansea City.
Ferguson, who labelled the 6-1 demolition by Roberto Mancini’s men at Old Trafford last month as a ‘wake-up call’, believes the hefty defeat has proved the catalyst to United reproducing their defensive best as they notched up a sixth shut-out of the season – the most in the Premier League.
Ferguson said: "It (the Manchester City game) was a wake-up call so to have the most number of clean sheets in the league is an added satisfaction.
"Over the years, our defence has been an integral part of our success.
"We knew Swansea are a good footballing team and keep the ball well so you have to be concentrating all the time and the concentration is exactly what we need back in the team because a couple of weeks ago there was a genuine criticism about the defending and chances opponents were getting."
