Sir Alex Ferguson has reiterated his opposition to the Premier League's proposal to add an extra round of games to the domestic calendar, with the additional fixtures being played abroad. However, Ferguson, currently in Japan ahead of the Fifa Club World Cup, said: "I don't think there will ever be a 39th game and I don't believe there should be," said Ferguson.

"I certainly am not in favour of it.

"You look at our domestic programme allied to our cup competitions. It is impossible."
