Ferguson against Twitter

on May 20, 2011 None comments

At the end of this season of Premier League and with the trophy in his hands, Manchester United’s manager is up for a battle against social networks.

Sir Alex Ferguson has criticized Twitter and is ready to forbid players to communicate with fans in through social networks. Rio Ferdinand is one of the most prolific players on Twitter: he has 1 million followers. Rooney, Owen and Nani are also active on those networks.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s decision comes a few days after Rooney lost his temper with a fan, which he threatened to beat him. Darron Gibson tried too in this fashion trend to make his name on Twitter, but gave up after two hours. Hundreds of fans cursed him and Manchester United’s player has deleted the account.

“I do not understand these things, I tell you honestly. How do you find time for it? There are a million better things you can do in life. Go to the library and read a book. Seriously. It is a waste of time. I think it’s just a time when everyone must do it. Players are responsible for their actions, “said Alex Ferguson.

Will he really put the ban for the players? Stay close

Champions League is used to deliver best games. Two heroes, one of the both sides, Wayne Rooney and Edwin van der Sar , first one his goal and second his saves made United favourites to win the English quarter-final.

The first leg was decided by Rooney’s strike in the 24th minute after great work by the evergreen Ryan Giggs. His goal is pretty important because it’s an away goal, and on the Old Trafford they will have the home advantage.

Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United):
“We’re not surprised. We didn’t get many chances, Nani in the second half and Chicharito’s [Javier Hernández] first-half header. Overall, it was a matter of a clever midfield. I think most of the time we contained them very well.”

Carlo Ancelotti (Chelsea):
“We know it will be difficult now. We need to win at Old Trafford and have the confidence we can do this. Our performance tonight was good and we gave 100%. In general we played good football, with good control, but we conceded a goal too easily and it was very difficult to come back.”

Next Tuesday is not far away and the final result will set. Stay tuned.
