Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson believes that a poor start to the match against Tottenham proved costly on Saturday and led to their second defeat in six games.

"From there we were just playing against the wind. The second half we played fantastic, just trying to get something from the game, and I think we were very unlucky.
"I think the attitude changed, that was the important thing. Wayne's (Rooney) ability does help but the attitude of the players was excellent everywhere on the pitch."
United had a host of penalty appeals turned down, with both their goalscorers going down under challenges in the area and handball shouts against both Sandro and William Gallas.

"The ones in the second half, I'm not so sure
