Paul Hayward in Torygraph:

'Ferguson now regrets the pre-season tour of America which, he says, bit into the recovery time of his international players: "In hindsight we made a mistake going there, there's no doubt about that. We had the European Championships, the Copa America and the Olympics - which I didn't even think about. Scholes, Silvestre and the two Nevilles were among those we called back to fulfil our obligations in America, and we're suffering badly from that."
