Ballack tells United they are in for a title fight

Man United have been told they wont get the title without a fight.

Chelsea star Michael Ballack has told Manchester United that Chelsea will fight them for the Premier title race.

Guus Hiddink’s side currently sit four points adrift of the Red Devils as the battle for top flight supremacy hots up.

The Blues only have nine games in which to topple United at the summit, while Sir Alex Ferguson’s men have one game more in which to hang on to their lofty perch.

The battle promises to be keenly-fought, with Liverpool still harbouring aspirations of taking the crown after their 4-1 victory at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Rafa Benitez’s men have already proven that they will not be giving up without a fight, and Ballack has made it clear that Chelsea will also be challenging until it is mathematically impossible for them to emerge on top.

“We are not a team that ever give up. It’s going to take something big for us to be able to win the league, but in football you never know,” the Germany international said in the Daily Express.

“We have to enjoy the moment we are in. Right now we are winning games and looking forward to the next one.”

Ballack also believes a rejuvenated Didier Drogba will be crucial to the club’s chances of closing the gap on United.

As Ballack is one of the big names predicted to leave Chelsea at the end of the season, lets hope he is right.
