The Mirror reports:
‘Sir Alex Ferguson is refusing to speak to Manchester United's TV station MUTV after one of their presenters criticised his tactics and formation. Fergie took exception to comments made by presenter Paul Anthony after United's 0-0 Champions League draw with Villarreal last week and has snubbed the station since.
‘The United boss refused to speak to the channel before or after the weekend clash at Liverpool in protest at the remarks and the negative tone of the post-match show. Wayne Rooney was sent off against Villarreal and it is understood it was criticism of the striker's conduct, along with questions about United's approach to the game, that infuriated Fergie.
‘Club officials were yesterday desperately trying to solve the embarrassing rift so MUTV can continue interviewing Fergie for its 100,000 subscribers in this country and 18 million viewers worldwide.’
