Ferguson stands by Manchester United

Manchester United’s surprise 0-1 loss to Burnley last night has cast doubts over their current squad and management.

 

Manchester United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson deflected many of the post-match questions and stood by his team’s performance.

 

“I think the lads played pretty well, but it’s a bit disappointing that as a five star team, we lost to a two and a half star team”, Ferguson said.

 

“Obviously we were looking for a win, but they were on World Class difficulty, so I still think we did alright.

 

“If we were to have a rematch, I’d probably do some things a little different, of course. Like setting the conditions to Sunny and Not Windy, or I would have used a little less power on that early penalty.

 

“I just think it’s ridiculous that you can dominate the whole game and the computer will always score off a free kick in injury time. And what the heck was up with that keeper glitch in the 78^th minute?”

 

‘Sir Alex's men’, who have bought Ronaldinho, Kaka, reverted Rivaldo's age back to 23, and recruited unknown starting player Julian Sieber (with an overall skill level of 99), are expected to do well this season.
