Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson denied that there will be disruptions in the Champions League clash with AC Milan with the anti-Glazer supporters planning to come out in full force when the Italian club visits Old Trafford. He has instead called on the fans to come out and support the team instead.

He said "It is too important a game. Old Trafford will be rocking and I am sure whether they are wearing the traditional red and white or the protest green and gold scarves the supporters will be united and speaking with one voice to get us safely through. Ronaldo's departure has nothing to do with Wayne's form. The credit must go to Wayne's development as a footballer and his rise in the game. I just wish we still had Cristiano here as well.''

He added that "I am finding it difficult to pick their team but I don't know whether Beckham will start.  I have not got that down in my conclusions about their team. He has not started a game since the first leg, so it is difficult to say what impact he will have on the game.  But he will be there and the one thing you have to be aware of is his delivery of the ball, which is fantastic. That is the threat. There are a lot of threats in their team of course, but we are well aware of David's.''
