Ferguson and Wenger agree to truce

ARSENE WENGER and Alex Ferguson have bowed to overwhelming pressure to call a truce in their public war of words ahead of their February 1 Premiership clash at Highbury.

The two managers have agreed to restrain any public comments in the build-up to the fixture to reduce tensions among supporters.

This follows a warning from the Metropolitan Police, as well as the FA and the League Managers’ Association, that any further incendiary remarks could inflame fans at the game.
