HAND BAGS AT DAWN?

Sir Alex Ferguson and David Beckham had to be pulled apart after the Manchester United boss hit the England captain in the face with a flying boot, according to reports.

Ferguson has now admitted that he caused the gash above Beckham's eye when he kicked the boot during a dressing-room rage but says that it was a 'freak of nature'.

But now reports are suggesting that Beckham squared up to his boss in the Old Trafford changing room and the two had to be separated.

There have even been some reports that Beckham spat at his manager – but it is thought that there is no truth in these allegations.

Ferguson was absolutely fuming about his team's abject performance and apparently singled out Beckham and Ryan Giggs for criticism – though there is no suggestion that Ferguson intentionally hit Beckham with boot as it first bounced off a wall.

At this rate it'll turn out that 'it was Chelsea'.
