I doubt Utd will bother putting a proper side out for the Eurooopla.
Struggle? They might win the Europa yet!!
he was joking
No, it was clearly a joke. That was a poor attempt at styling it out!
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson cuts short a news conference after appearing to take offence when a journalist puts it to him that the top two Premier League teams have "struggled in Europe" this season.

Can't understand it myself, its a pretty fair question. None of them have inspired confidence. I think all of the PL teams in this years CL will go out as soon as they face a half decent team. In fact, I wonder what odds you'd get on none going past the QF's?
It was a stupid question. United have the joint most points in their group and the best goal difference. Fergie being in his twilight years probably just thinks 'I don't need to bother with this shit'. But then, I sympathise more with fergie than bloody journos.
The results haven't been amazing but they're hardly struggling. They will top the group.
Very successful people often have massive egos to match. Fergie is one of those people.
