Fergie fury at TV fixtures

PREMIER LEAGUE: Man Utd v Everton

The Manchester United manager is furious his side must play Everton at Old Trafford tomorrow, reducing preparation time ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League duel with Real Madrid.

When the Everton fixture was initially chosen for live TV screening by Sky, there was an option for the game to be played today lunchtime instead of Tottenham’s clash with Newcastle should United have found themselves involved in a Tuesday European game.
