Wenger right to sell Nasri, says Ferguson

AHEAD of tomorrow’s showdown against Arsenal at Old Trafford, Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson has backed Arsene Wenger’s decision to sell Samir Nasri.

The loss of Nasri to Manchester City, so soon after Cesc Fabregas left for Barcelona, is one of the key reasons why the Arsenal support has started to become disenchanted with their illustrious French manager.

Ferguson will be doing his best to heap more misery onto the Gunners tomorrow but, having operated in the same highly pressurised Premier League environment together for 15 years, Ferguson has some sympathy with his old adversary, with whom there has been a distinct thaw in relations.
