Wenger: Ferguson to survive the battle at United

ARSENE WENGER does not believe Alex Ferguson will be forced out of Manchester United in his dispute with shareholders John Magnier and JP McManus – as he would be too much of a loss to the club.

However, Wenger feels United are paying the price of listing their club on the Stock Exchange as opposed to the flexibility which Arsenal, who are not a plc, have in the transfer market.

And the Arsenal boss has no intention of making public any transfer fees or payments to agents, unless he is required to do so.
