Wenger: refs helped lift United to league heights

ARSÈNE WENGER last night ignored FA appeals for a truce by claiming that Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson had lost all sense of reality.

After the so-called ‘Battle of the Buffet’ at Old Trafford last year, a truce of sorts seemed to prevail until Ferguson re-ignited the feud at the weekend by claiming in a newspaper that Wenger had approached him in a threatening manner in the tunnel after United’s 2-0 win.

As the row escalated, Wenger in turn accused Ferguson of bringing the game into disrepute and suggested the FA charge the Manchester United boss for his comments.
