Alex Ferguson may have said it was "not realistic" for Manchester United to win a unique European and domestic quadruple but he still believes his squad can compete on four fronts.
United opened their FA Cup campaign with a comfortable 3-0 win away to Championship strugglers Southampton at St Mary's here on Sunday with goals from youngsters Danny Welbeck and Darron Gibson either side of a controversial Nani penalty thereby maintaining Ferguson's proud record of having never lost a third round tie in his 22-year reign at Old Trafford.
United, well placed in their quest for a third successive Premier League title, are also through to the last 16 of the Champions League and face Derby in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
No team has ever won all four trophies in the same season but Ferguson said: "I think we have a good enough squad to compete in every competition, as long as we do not pick up any injuries. That is the most important thing. Cup football is a knockout situation so you never know what is going to happen."
