Seattle Sounders owner Joe Roth has ATTACKED Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Roth revealed that Ferguson broke a "gentleman's agreement" by subbing in star forward Wayne Rooney at halftime of their friendly earlier this year.

The Seattle Post says calling him "Sir Alex Whatever-His-Name-Is," Roth said the agreement was to play starters in the first half and reserves in the second half. After halftime, United instead substituted in superstar forward Wayne Rooney, who scored three of the visitors' six goals in the second half.
