Show Wenger some respect – Fergie

(12-12-2010) Sir Alex Ferguson has pleaded with Manchester United's fans to show Arsene Wenger some respect at Old Trafford on Monday by refraining from their usual disgraceful chanting towards the Arsenal manager. The Frenchman has been singled out by Red Devils fans in recent years with a particularly abusive song, something Fergie finds exceptionally offensive. "I plead to our fans. They have got to stop that kind of thing," the Scot told MUTV on Saturday. "I have faced it myself in the past. I have had some chants at various grounds up and down the country and it is not a nice thing.” Added Fergie: "We have a great rivalry with Arsenal. But it shouldn't extend to those levels, not for Manchester United. I hope we don't hear any more of that." Arsenal currently lead United by a single point but the Red Devils have a game in hand.
