Man Utd boss Ferguson plays down manner of victory over AC Milan

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has moved to cool the fallout from their thrashing of AC Milan.
<!--break-->
Once the fuss over David Beckham's green and gold exit and another two goals for Wayne Rooney has died down, the record books will show a quite staggering aggregate win over a fellow heavyweight that in the short-term has dispelled any remaining concerns about United's ability to challenge for major honours this season.

Ferguson recognises the enormity of the result. But, ahead of Sunday's encounter with Fulham, the Scot is also eager to introduce a note of caution.

"We have to calm ourselves down a little bit," he said.

"It was an emphatic result on Wednesday but they lost Alessandro Nesta on the morning of the game and then lost their centre-back at half-time. That made it difficult for them.

"It is the same as when we played Fulham a couple of months back. We had no centre-backs, so what do you expect?"

Portsmouth administrator hints at transfer revelations

Portsmouth administrator Andrew Andronikou anticipates that there could be some 'surprise' revelations regarding the club's transfer dealings.

There have been claims that some of the transfer fees reported in the media over Pompey's recent agreements may have been exaggerated.

He told the Spirit Sport podcast: "I am not really any closer to getting to the bottom of that.

"I have looked at one or two transactions. The media is great at sensationalising transfers.

"The larger the fee paid, or the alleged fee, the better the story.

"We will see what comes out in the next few weeks, you might be surprised on some of the transfers that were reported by the press.

"I think the best way forward for clubs is the undisclosed route."
