Fergie branded a sore loser

Sir Alex Ferguson has been told that he is a bad loser following Manchester United’s Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich earlier this week. This comes after the fiery Scot lashed out at the Bayern players for getting young defender Rafael red-carded early in the second-half of Wednesday’s quarterfinal second-leg between the two sides. But Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has angrily hit back, saying: "We lost in 1999 like gentlemen. Now United should do the same." Fergie also accused the Bayern players of targeting Wayne Rooney’s injured ankle in the match. "It's an over-reaction on his part maybe because he was disappointed to lose. Normally he is a fine gentleman but I think what he has said is not right,” added Hoeness. Despite winning 3-2, United went out on the away goals rule.
