Chelsea boss Di Matteo not surprised Man Utd's Ferguson happy with Drogba exit

Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo isn't surprised to hear Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson being happy about Didier Drogba's departure for China.

Ferguson said earlier this summer he was pleased Drogba has left because of the important goals he scored.

And Di Matteo said: "I don't think it is just Alex Ferguson who will have been happy to see the back of Didier!

"He scored many goals for the club but we have brought in other players and hopefully they will get goals now.

"Fernando looks very good at the moment and we are very hopeful he will have a good season."
