Manchester United win after Ferguson visit
Manchester United hauled themselves back from the
brink of crisis against Swansea – thanks to
another helping of Fergie Time, writes Steve Bates
in the Sunday People.

Former boss Sir Alex Ferguson held crisis talks
with under-fire boss David Moyes after last
week’s Old Trafford defeat by the Swans.

And in the very next league game, against the same
team that wrecked their FA Cup dreams a week ago,
the champions gave a far more assured display –
even without the injured Wayne Rooney and Robin
van Persie – to win 2-0.

Fergie, who led the Reds to an 11-point title
triumph last season, spent an hour in Moyes’s
Old Trafford office last week in an unscheduled
emergency summit.

He told Moyes - the man he chose as his successor
- that his job was NOT under threat; that he had
the full support of the Glazer family; and that
money will be made available in summer to beef up
an ailing squad.

Insiders say it’s not the first time that
Fergie, shown mostly these days sitting with a
frown in the Old Trafford stands, has met Moyes to
offer reassuring words.

The United legend travelled to Wearside in midweek
for the 2-1 defeat at Sunderland in the Capital
One Cup and spoke to the beleaguered boss once
more.
