Fergie backs Hammers for top four finish

LEICESTER CITY will be champions with three games to spare — according to Sir Alex Ferguson, the man who knows more about winning the Premier League than anybody else.

Ferguson is so impressed with Claudio Ranieri’s surprise contenders that he feels they will have wrapped up the title before visiting Old Trafford on May 1st, after which Leicester host Everton and then travel to Chelsea in a tricky climax to their season.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, Ferguson, now a Manchester United director, also expects West Ham to finish in the top four, with his own club — and Manchester City — missing out. Leicester’s N’Golo Kante, Ferguson believes, is comfortably England’s Player of the Year.

Who are we to argue to Sir Alex whether he knows what the West Ham way is or not?
