Fergie pleads for club unity after Rio booing

MANCHESTER UNITED manager Alex Ferguson has revealed his anger at supporters who have booed contract rebel Rio Ferdinand in the club’s last two friendlies.

The England centre-back has infuriated supporters by stalling over the offer of a new deal, reportedly worth €143,000 a week, a situation which Ferguson himself has expressed his displeasure about in the past.

Now though the Scot has called for unity and urged fans to stop their anti-Ferdinand campaign immediately after he was booed during the recent games at Clyde and Peterborough.
