Shot-shy strikers frustrate Fergie

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was disappointed his much-vaunted strikers failed to find the net again against Sparta Prague.

United drew a blank in the Czech capital despite the best efforts of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Louis Saha.

“I felt we had goals in us, it’s a bit frustrating not getting them,” Ferguson said.

“It’s not a bad result away from home. They played quite well and had one or two chances due to a lack of concentration at the back I’m not happy with.

“It was a good team performance but disappointing not to score any goals.”

United goalkeeper Roy Carroll added on ITV1: “It’s a point gained rather than two lost.

“We’re disappointed not to get three points but we’ve got one. We did well tonight, I only had two saves to make.”
