Fergie rues misfortune
SIR ALEX FERGUSON has cited Edwin van der Sar's uncharacteristic howler against West Brom as the prime example of Manchester United's problems this season.
Saturday was the third time United have tossed away a two-goal advantage. Ferguson believes Van der Sar inexplicably dropping Chris Brunt's cross at the feet of Somen Tchoyi to gift the Baggies their equaliser could be evidence the reason may be just bad luck.
"The mistake was uncanny," he said, ahead of tonight's Champions League clash with Bursaspor.
"Here is a player with 130 caps for Holland and the most fantastic career you could imagine and he makes a mistake like that. He is allowed to make one horrendous mistake in his life. It was at a time when we didn't need it of course, but it happens."
