Desperate United stumble again

Another disappointing result saw Ferguson and his beleaguered players booed off the Old Trafford pitch as the struggling Toffees held them, and could even have snatched a dramatic victory had James McFadden showed greater composure in the second half.

McFadden put Everton ahead on seven minutes before Ryan Giggs equalised less than 10 minutes later. United had chances to win but found visiting goalkeeper Richard Wright in inspired form at the worst possible time. This result leaves United 12 points behind Premiership leaders Chelsea and hopes of silverware are fading faster than Ferguson’s popularity in Manchester.
