Minister urges managers to end ‘pantomime’

ALEX FERGUSON and Arsene Wenger are coming under increasing pressure to end their “irresponsible” public war of words ahead of next month’s clash at Highbury.

Police have urged the two managers to calm tensions ahead of the game at Highbury on February 1 for fear of causing unrest among supporters.

And British Sports Minister Richard Caborn has also called on them to end their “pantomime” amid the continuing fall-out from their clash at Old Trafford last October.
