FERGIE FEARS ‘CIRCUS’

SIR ALEX FERGUSON has told friends he is “worried” that the Manchester United he transformed into serial winners are in danger of becoming a circus act.

Under strict disciplinarian Fergie (right), United not only won 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies, but any training- ground problems were usually kept in-house. Back at Old Trafford last Saturday for the first time since suffering a major stroke in May to witness the 1-1 draw with Wolves, the Scot confessed he was worried about the negative publicity surrounding the club. He also believes that luring Paul Pogba back to the club for a record £89million fee, along with agent Mino Raiola, was a recipe for trouble.

Sir Alex is not alone in the Old Trafford boardroom in feeling that it’s time for United to do all their talking with a football.

United legend Sir Bobby Charlton is unhappy with the lack of entertainment on the pitch and the constant squabbles off it.

All agree that it’s time for Mourinho to sort it out.
