Don't worry about Wenger, I've had a tough week myself - Man Utd's Ferguson

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says he does not feel any sympathy for Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger. Ferguson and Wenger's sides will clash in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup at Old Trafford tomorrow but the Scot feels he is under as much pressure as the Frenchman.

Recently, Wenger has seen Arsenal lose the Carling Cup final to Birmingham City before being knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona in controversial circumstances.

But league leaders United have problems of their own after losing two league matches on the trot to Chelsea and Liverpool and Ferguson says he wants a win just as badly as Wenger.

"I have sympathy for myself. I didn't have an easy week myself," he said.

"You have to look forward. We have big opportunities at the club and there are a lot of challenges ahead for the rest of the season.

"You get to March and hope you are involved in all these competitions and we are."
