Statistics show ref covered more ground than all but seven players!Sir Alex Ferguson branded him 'unfit' and berated his inability to keep pace with Manchester United and Sunderland players. So scathing was Ferguson's personal attack that it left referee Alan Wiley questioning whether he ought to walk away from football. Yet, Sportsmail can reveal that Wiley has nothing to be ashamed of over his performance at Old Trafford during the 2-2 draw and that he actually covered more ground than all but seven of the players on show. A review of the ProZone match data - the tool top players and officials use to analyse their displays - shows that Wiley, 48, ran a total of 6.86 miles during Saturday's match, more than all but four of United's players and three of Sunderland's.
