ALEX FERGUSON will put his players through hell to guarantee they qualify for the Champions League knockout stages.

Manchester United were drawn in Group H yesterday with Galatasaray, Braga and Romanian minnows CFR Cluj.
It looks easy. But that is what everyone thought last season when they crashed out of a group containing Otelul Galati, Benfica and Basel.
Ferguson insisted: “That won’t happen again. We’ll qualify from the group stage. I’ll make sure of it.
“We need to show last season was just a blip.
“We have the experience of playing against Galatasaray in the past and will always remember the ‘Welcome to Hell’ banners. It’s always a difficult type of match.
“Braga are one of the improving teams in Portugal and we’ve never played Cluj before.
“But after the experience of last year, we don’t want to make any stupid errors this time.
“We will play our strongest team to make sure we get through.”
Manchester City will face the might of Real Madrid, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund, while trophy-holders Chelsea tackle Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus and FC Nordsjaelland.
Arsenal play Schalke, Olympiakos and Montpellier.
