Man Utd chief Ferguson: FA treated us like sh*t

Sir Alex Ferguson feels the Football Association have treated Manchester United poorly in recent years.

The Scottish tactician faces fresh sanctions from the FA after criticising them for treating United with disdain despite the club producing the most England players over time with another eight first team players selected by both the U21 and senior teams.

"I hope the FA realise one day that this club has produced more [England] players than any other club in the world and maybe they'll get some joy from that at some point in their lives," he said.

"Maybe they will get some joy from it and realise how important we are to England instead of treating us like s***. I am pleased for the players. They are outstanding."

Ferguson received a five-match touchline ban last season and could now face further penalties after these latest comments but I'm sure he won't be bothered as long as he gets his point across to an organization he continually butts heads with.
