Milan failure really hurt

SO there’s another thing me and Fergie have in common, apart from being overly partial to decent clarets and getting death-threats in the post: we will both be working this summer, and for the same reason, our failure to win the European Cup.

He, surely, cannot quit now, despite the Premiership triumph, whilst I said goodbye to over three grand at the bookies.

Not that my torn-up betting slip is the reason for my lingering sense of disgruntlement this Monday morning, a feeling that is of course utterly perverse given Sunday’s turn of events (and typical of “ungrateful” perfectionist United fans in general, some would sigh).
