FERGUSON BACKS INGERLAND'S SCAPEGOAT

Last updated : 21 August 2006 By Ed

Ferguson has said that one of the reasons for United's best start to a season since 1905/6 is due to the togetherness of the squad.

"People always look for scapegoats but we have a great spirit here and we will not let that be affected by what people say outside the club," said Ferguson.

"There is no problem between Cristiano and Wayne. They are great friends and linked really well together.

"The Fulham fans did boo Cristiano a bit at the start but in the end, even they were acknowledging what a great footballer the boy is."

Meanwhile Wayne Rooney has again said he has no problem with Ronaldo.

“I think we have let our football do the talking.

“I've proved already from what I've said there is no problem between us.

"People say things but they do not really know the pair of us.

"I was delighted Cristiano got his goal and showed what a talent he is. He was brilliant.”
