Manchester United players are spending the weekend on a golfing break in Scotland.

It is a shock break with tradition by Fergie and is believed to be the first time he has taken his squad away so close to the end of the season.

A source told the Daily Star: "Initially the players thought they might be going somewhere exotic like Dubai.

"But half the squad were told they were going to Gleneagles and the other half to St Andrews.

"Fergie wanted to keep the players guessing a bit because he wants complete isolation and for the trip to be away from the prying eyes of the media.
