Oliver Kay in The Times:
‘IT MAY be rather premature to talk of a crisis at Manchester United, given that they lie within three points of the summit of the Barclaycard Premiership, but Sir Alex Ferguson made no attempt to hide his disappointment at his team’s latest setback last night. The United manager talked of being blighted by "individual errors", to which David Beckham was quick to own up, but there was also a suggestion that his team had made the less forgivable mistake of taking victory for granted.
"We’ve got no divine right to think that, just because we’re Manchester United, we can just walk over teams," Ferguson said. "We’ve got to work to earn that right to beat teams. You get a lot of surprising results in this league, because all the teams are so determined to stay in it. You get some incredible results at times, and, more than ever, I think you have to earn your victories. Bolton Wanderers were fantastic in that respect and they deserved their win."’
