Arsene Wenger has put years of bitter rivalry aside to offer his
full support to under-fire Manchester United boss Sir Alex
Ferguson.
The Scottish tactician was booed by some sections of the Old
Trafford crowd on Saturday, as his side fell to a 2-1 defeat
against Blackburn.
United now trail champions and league leaders Chelsea by ten
points, a fact which has angered the club's faithful at such an
early stage of the season.
Ferguson and Wenger have persistently been at loggerheads ever
since the studious Frenchman arrived at Arsenal, with their
constant spats becoming folklore in The Premiership.
Whilst conceding that he may never share friendship with his United
counterpart, Wenger was left both shocked and saddened by the
criticism received by Ferguson at the weekend.
''You know I'm not his best friend but I found that really
appalling,'' said Wenger.
''Of course we - like our players - are only as good as our last
game.
''But considering what this guy has done for the club, I find it
horrendous, nearly unbelievable.''
Ferguson cut short a press conference prior to Tuesday's UEFA
Champions League clash with Benfica, angry that journalists had
raised the topic of Saturday's defeat
Now this is something you don't see everyday..Looks like its a case
of the enemy of my enemy is my friend..And Chelsea seems like the
biggest enemy thats why they can unite..
