Man Utd boss Ferguson: Sympathy for Wenger? What about me?!!

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he has more sympathy for himself than Arsenal rival Arsene Wenger.

Both managers have run into controversy involving match officials this week.

Asked if he felt for Wenger after his team's defeat at Barcelona, Ferguson replied: "I have sympathy for myself. I didn't have an easy week myself."

Under the circumstances, Ferguson probably took a wise course of action in avoiding discussion of any controversy further, preferring instead to look ahead at what is to come.

"You have to look forward," he said.

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

"It is terrific to be involved in the middle of March. Every game you play is of importance.

"We have Tuesday's game against Marseille and Bolton in a league game next weekend. It goes on and on.

"That is why you get to March and hope you are involved in all these things. We are.

"It won't be tomorrow. Hopefully it will be quite soon."
