Wenger denies ‘mental’ problem with Ruud

ARSENE WENGER denies he has a “mental problem” with Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy as his war of words with Alex Ferguson continued.

Ferguson is understood to have accused Wenger of having a ‘mental’ problem with the Dutch striker following the Arsenal manager’s outburst over his tackle on Ashley Cole in their heated encounter at Old Trafford last Sunday.

But a defiant Wenger insisted last night: “I can reassure you that I have no mental problem with van Nistelrooy.”
