Alex Ferguson told successor David Moyes that winning a trophy in his first season as Manchester United manager would be "fantastic" after a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton dented their Premier League title hopes.

After all, it took Ferguson nearly four years following his arrival at Old Trafford from Aberdeen to win his first silverware, with the 1990 FA Cup success giving him the breathing space he needed to set the club on the path to greater glories.

Manchester United have now won just three of their opening eight Premier League games under Moyes and Saturday's result at Old Trafford left the reigning champions at an unusually lowly eighth in the table, five points adrift of the Champions League places and only four above the relegation zone.

"For David, winning a trophy would be a fantastic achievement. No matter what it is -- the League Cup, FA Cup, European Cup or Premier League," Ferguson told MUTV, United's in-house television station.
