Ferguson faces double battle

Alex Ferguson is facing a hectic week as he battles to push through the £11m (€15.9m) transfer of Ronaldinho and try to keep assistant Carlos Quieroz at Old Trafford.

Brazil’s early exit from the Confederations Cup will see United step up their attempts to land Ronaldinho, who was sent off for two bookable offences in a fractious 2-2 draw with Turkey last night.
