PIZZA MAN DELIVERS

Last updated : 06 June 2004 By Editor

"I'm absolutely furious that so many lies have been written about me going to Madrid that the Manchester United fans are genuinely concerned I'm going.

"I don't know where the rumours began to manifest themselves but I suspect they came from Spain. When the fans start to believe it, that worries me.

"Where do people get off with this rubbish? There is absolutely no foundation to the story. There isn't a grain of truth in it.

"I tried to allay the fears of the fans by holding a public press conference but when the pizza man makes a delivery to my house and writes a note inside the box pleading with me to stay, it's gone too far.

"And I want to make it clear once and for all that the Manchester United fans have nothing to worry about. I'm going nowhere, end of story."
