Alex:Lay off Wenger jibes


TARGET ... Arsene Wenger

ALEX FERGUSON has told Manchester United fans to stop their vile abuse of Arsene Wenger.

Fans verbally attack Wenger home and away and Ferguson wants the chants to stop, starting tomorrow at the Emirates.

Ferguson said: "There's been some terrible abuse from our fans to Arsene Wenger and there must be a line drawn. We have a team to support - we don't need to worry about anyone else."

It has been seven years since Wenger and United boss Fergie last went head-to-head for the title.

And Ferguson believes tomorrow's clash is the big one now that Wenger's side - unbeaten in 10 - are back in the title race.

Ferguson said: "Looking at the way the league is shaping up, this game with Arsenal is the biggest game of the season.

"These games with Arsenal are historic.

"Since I came down here, it's been Arsenal and United competing for most of the trophies."

Ferguson said Wenger was wrong to suggest that Darren Fletcher was a dirty player after United's 2-1 win at Old Trafford.

He said: "I think that's where Arsene lets himself down. It's disappointing.

"I don't think he really believes that."

Ferguson, meanwhile, will not make a further appeal after Rio Ferdinand's three-match ban for violent conduct was increased to four.
