Sir Alex Ferguson refuses to blame Edwin van der Sar as Manchester United draw with West Bromwich Albion

In such a competitive work environment, what can you do to make sure that you can not only find the job you’re looking for, but to make sure you get hired for it? There are tons of things to be considered as you prepare for your job hunt. For starters, how do you know which career leads are legitimate ones? More importantly, how do you know for certain that you are applying with a financially sound company?

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was once again left to rue dropped points after the Red Devils were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion.

Strikes by Javier Hernandez and Nani gave United a two goal lead in the match but they were pegged back by a Patrice Evra own goal before Somen Tchoyi equalised.

Ferguson left Wayne Rooney on the bench for the start of the match but it was at the other end of the pitch where fingers may be pointed after Edwin van der Sar dropped Chris Brunt’s cross allowing Tchoyi to snatch the draw.

However, speaking to BBC Sport after the game the Scot refused to blame the Dutchman for the result and insisted he had forgiven his goalkeeper already.

"You just have to forgive him [Edwin van der Sar] that,” said Ferguson. 

“It is an unbelievable career he has had.”

Yet Sir Alex was less forgiving of the rest of his team and stated that his side should have collected all three points, insisting his players had thrown the game away.

“We have given the game away. We should have been four, maybe five, up at half-time,” he said.

“We really need to start putting our foot down when it comes to killing teams off.”

The United boss also spoke to the club's official website and revealed that midfielder Ryan Giggs looks to have suffered a reccurrence of a hamstring injury that he suffered at Bolton Wanderers in September.

“The loss of Ryan as a wide player was a big one for us,” said Sir Alex.

“He’s done his hamstring again. He got it against Bolton but he’d trained all week. 

"He’d been doing very well, but it’s gone again and maybe we need to give him a longer recovery.

“We had a problem with Ryan coming off, we maybe didn’t have enough cover in the wide positions. Bebe had picked up a knock. He’s OK, but we decided to leave him out.”

The draw with West Brom is the third time this season the Red Devils have let slip a lead, having also being held when ahead by both Everton and Fulham.
