REAP WHAT YOU SOW

United have cancelled the press trip on the pre-season tour to South Africa due to "lack of interest". That's the club line. The reality is different.

Papers are boycotting it in protest to last year's fiasco when they paid thousands of pounds to go to the Far East only for SAF to sit there snarling for two weeks, refusing to speak to them or allow the journalists to talk to any of the players. The crime of the papers? Printing the truth about an argument with Roy Keane - which SAF denied had ever happened.
