Sir Alex Ferguson still upset with Real Madrid

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has continued his spat with Ramon Calderon.

Manchester United successfully fended off Madrid’s public efforts to sign Cristiano Ronaldo during the off-season, but Ferguson is unhappy about Calderon’s recent comments.

“We have the player we want. They don’t have the player they would like. All that is going on regarding Calderon is to do with the fact that they couldn’t get Cristiano Ronaldo,” Ferguson said after United’s 4-3 Premier League win over Hull City.

“Calderon promised so much that he would get the lad. Some of his comments are ridiculous. There is a complete arrogance about it all.”

“I don’t care two monkeys about our relationship with Real Madrid to be honest with you,” Sir Alex Ferguson said. “There was no question of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving anyway, absolutely no question.”

“It’s possible that these are the first shots of another attempt to get him,” Ferguson said.
