Trips to Everton FC always a nightmare says Man Utd manager Alex Ferguson
ALEX FERGUSON has admitted Manchester United's trips to Everton are always 'a nightmare' even without taking into account the Wayne Rooney factor.[LNB]After six days of his best player being plastered over the front pages because of those damning allegations in his private life, it took Ferguson just 16 words to inform the world he would not be responsible for any further comment.[LNB]'Let's put it to bed straightaway,' said the United boss.[LNB]'I am not discussing any of my players' personal lives.[LNB] 'It is always a nightmare going there and it wouldn't matter whether it was Dixie Dean playing for us. It is a hard place to go to.[LNB]'The atmosphere is fantastic. But we have had to deal with it for many years and there is no problem with our record there.'[LNB]Indeed, while, by his own admission, United were slaughtered in the corresponding fixture last year, Ferguson's team have lost just three times at Goodison in the entire Premier League era.[LNB]Their chances of success this time around have been increased by both Everton's poor form and the return of Ferguson's huge international contingent, including Rooney, 24 hours earlier than usual.
