Man Utd boss Ferguson: Premier League needs winter break

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes the Premier League needs a winter break.

Ferguson is not holding out any hope of a break being implemented, believing stopping fixtures is not something TV companies would accept.

"I have been saying this for years," the United boss told satellite radio station Sirius XM.

"It is not just to give the players a rest. It is to get rid of all the little injuries they carry.

"It would also freshen everyone up mentally, including my staff because they could do with that break as well.

"But somehow they just will not listen to the people who really matter in the game - supporters, players, staff and coaches.

"That's when maybe you think TV has too much power."
