After opening the defence of their Barclays Premier League title with successive draws, United were defeated by local rivals Manchester City at Eastlands on Sunday.

It is the worst start United have endured to a league campaign since 1992, but Fergie said: "At this moment in time we have to rely on our experience and make sure we do not get carried away with a knee-jerk reaction to it all."

He added: "We have given ourselves an uphill fight, there is no doubt about that. We know the position we have put ourselves in.

"Over the years we have always been able to overcome these things. We will have to do so again.

"But this is a league where if you make mistakes like this one, it punishes you.

"We have to get a win under our belts. We have Tottenham on Sunday and that has become a very important game for us."
