Attack best for injury-hit United

HULL, England: Sir Alex Ferguson believes attack could be the best form of defence for Manchester United as they look to get their faltering Premier League title challenge back on track at Hull on Sunday.

United's defensive problems have left the reigning champions looking vulnerable in recent defeats to Aston Villa and Fulham.

Ferguson's team have rarely been so out-played as they were last weekend, when they slumped to a 3-0 loss at Fulham which the Old Trafford boss himself thought might end up costing his side a fourth successive title.
