NEWCASTLE, England (AP) Alex Ferguson is preparing for Manchester United's title tussle with Arsenal to be settled on goal difference. That's not causing him too much concern with Cristiano Ronaldo virtually unstoppable.

The lethal Portuguese winger sent his season's goal tally in all competitions soaring to 29 on Saturday, netting twice in United's 5-1 thrashing of Newcastle.

That leaves him four goals from surpassing George Best's 32 goals in the 1967-68 campaign, proving there's more to his game than feints and stepovers.
