The morning after the night before as Sir Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United charges must still be struggling to come to terms with the lesson that was served up by Barcelona last night in what was an absolute exhibition of football by Pep Guardiola’s men. Fergie has come out today and conceded that no team he has ever faced in management has given him such a hiding like the one that was displayed at Wembley last night.
In the papers this morning there have been a mixed bag of stories that include Bin Hammam pulls out of FIFA race; Gareth Bale fancies the Olympics, while Ashley Young will snub Liverpool to join Man United.
