Chelsea boss AVB responds to age barb from Man Utd rival Ferguson

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has dismissed a barb from Manchester United counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson over the age of his squad.

Villas-Boas responded to Ferguson's taunt after victory over the Thailand Allstars.

He said: "Chelsea are the third, fourth or second oldest team in the Premier League but look at the trophies these players have won.

"They have a lot to offer. You have to find the correct balance between experience and youth and find out what kind of game you can play."
