Fergie: We are masters of own destiny

Sir Alex Ferguson is confident Manchester United only have to hold their nerve to clinch the Premiership title.

The Red Devils tackle Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Saturday knowing they require only five wins from their final seven matches to end their four-year championship drought - and for Ferguson, now is a time for cool hearts and strong minds.

"We have it in our hands now," said the Scot. "We just have to keep our nerve. The form of the team has been fantastic. I have no problem with that at all. It makes me feel as though we can go anywhere and get a result."
