Sir Alex Ferguson Hopping Mad

Sir Alex Ferguson

A chal­lenge from Nigel de Jong on Danny Wel­beck led to a furi­ous touch­line row between Manchester United chief Sir Alex Fer­guson and his Manchester City coun­ter­part Roberto Man­cini on Monday. Al­though the two man­agers shook hands after the full time whistle had gone, Sir Alex later blamed the Italian coach for the incident.

Ac­cord­ing to Sir Alex Fer­guson, Roberto Man­cini was badger­ing the ref­eree the whole game, the fourth of­fi­cial and lines­man. After de­feat­ing old foes Manchester United 1–0 at East­lands, Manchester City now lead the Eng­lish Premier League on goal dif­fer­ence with only two matches re­main­ing of the cam­paign. In their next game, Manchester United will play host to Brendan Rodgers´s Swansea City side at Old Traf­ford while Manchester City travel north to New­castle to take on New­castle United at St James´s Park.
