Ferguson broke the silence: we lost deservedly © EuroFootball.com

The head coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, gave an interview to journalists for the first time since the 1-3 loss to "Liverpool" on Sunday.

After conceding to their arch-rivals, the 'Red Devils' broke the wall of silence, but now the strategist admitted that his team lost deservedly.

"The better team was 'Liverpool' and they deserved the win," said Ferguson. "I am disappointed because we didn't show the game we usually demonstrate."

The coach of Manchester club also acknowledged that now the main rivals on the road to the English "Premier" league title are the footballers of London's "Arsenal."

"In the months of February - March of last season, 'Arsenal' withdrew from the battle for the champion title and left us competing with 'Chelsea,' to whom we lost by a point.

I think many expected a similar scenario this year. Furthermore, the strengthened teams of 'Man City' and 'Tottenham' created tough competition for the 'gunners'.

However, Arsene Wenger and his players are performing excellently this season and hold a high second position."
