Queiroz united with fans ahead of Cottagers clash

UNDER-FIRE Carlos Queiroz has hailed Manchester United fans as “the best in the world” and insisted he is committed to giving them the right balance between entertainment and results.

Alex Ferguson’s assistant has been attacked from all sides in recent weeks, with many supporters blaming him for the decision to abandon United’s traditional 4-4-2 formation.

Queiroz’s cause was hardly helped by reports he had branded Red Devils supporters who called for the reintroduction of the old system as “stupid.”
