Mighty Aston Villa!

Sir Alex Ferguson insists Villa are "as close as anyone" to breaking the Big Four's supremacy.

Ferguson says O'Neill will not be happy with the way his side have fallen away in the past few weeks because he is a winner - but believes Villa will make big strides in the coming seasons.

He said: "Martin has seen his high hopes of a spot in next season's Champions League slip back a little. He won't be happy with that because he is a winner - it's the nature of the man.

"But no matter how the season ends for them, he had done a fantastic job at Villa.

"He launched a rebuilding programme when he first arrived and there is a lot of youth in his squad.

"He is as close as anyone to breaking into the top four and they will get better. He has a team for the future."
