Premiership: O'Leary accuses Ferguson of mind games

David O'Leary believes Sir Alex Ferguson is playing more mind games by ruling Manchester United out of the race for the Premiership title.

The Leeds boss has told Ferguson that he is fooling nobody, and reckons it is all just a clever plot by the United boss to ease the pressure on his stuttering stars.

"I won't be kidded by Alex," said O'Leary. "They can come into form still and keep up the challenge. Alex will be delighted that everyone is dismissing him."

Leeds drew 0-0 with Fulham yesterday in Robbie Fowler's debut for the club.
