Man Utd boss Ferguson pleased to entertain with "pretty open" final

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted to hear reviews of last night's Champions League final victory over Chelsea.

He revealed: "I spoke to a few people afterwards and they said it was fantastic and I'm pleased about that.

"I have watched many finals and some are not good because of the pressure. But this was pretty open."

Fergie added: "It would have been so unfair to Ronaldo if that penalty miss had cost us after the season he has had.

"I thought he was fantastic tonight. When he had the ball you always felt something was going to happen. I thought it was a marvellous performance."
