    Sir Alex Ferguson remains angry after his undefeated Manchester United side lost late leads in the Premier League this term.

    The Red Devils kept their unbeaten record when battling back from two goals down to earn a point at Aston Villa last weekend.

    United remain three points behind leaders Chelsea in third after drawing seven of their 13 games, including losing late leads at Fulham and Everton.

    The United boss is upset about conceding so many late goals as he seeks to guide the club to a record-making 19th league title this term.
    Thrown away

    “People make a story about us being undefeated, but we’ve thrown points away,” Ferguson told Key 103.

    “Last week we stole one, so maybe that balances itself out.

    “But we are still angry at ourselves at losing late goals. We have got this great record of scoring late goals, but we have suffered from it on the opposite side this season.”

    United next face North West rivals Wigan at Old Trafford on Saturday and Ferguson is not under-estimating Roberto Martinez’s side, despite the fact they lie just outside the relegation zone.

    Capable side

    “They are a capable side, who seem to be turning the corner in terms of consistency,” said Ferguson.

    “Roberto Martinez gets the rewards himself by sticking to his philosophy, which is good.

    “It shows he has strong management and his players now believe in it too.”
