Ferguson ready for twists and turns after 1-0 win over Everton

MANCHESTER, England: Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said he expected there to be tricky moments between now and the end of the season after seeing his side extend their Premier League lead.

United's 1-0 win over Everton at Old Trafford here Saturday left then five points clear at the top of the table with 15 league games remaining and ideally placed to claim a third successive Premier League title.

But Ferguson refused to get carried away after Cristiano Ronaldo's first-half penalty earned his side a seventh straight league win.
