‘My best ever’

 - Ferguson
BY JOHN HUGHES
ALEX Ferguson, who recently celebrated 21 years as Manchester United manager, claims his multi-national team

that includes Wayne Rooney (England), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) and Carlos Tevez (Argentina) is the best he has ever worked with.

But his comments come at a time when the quality of English players at the top level is being widely criticised.

Arsene Wenger, Arsenal’s urbane French manager, has relied heavily on non-English imports during his 11 years in charge.

The Premier League resumes this weekend after a fortnight’s break with Arsenal, the leaders, at home to a Wigan side aiming to halt a run of seven successive defeats. Manchester United, trailing Arsenal only on goal-aggregate, visit struggling Bolton whose new manager, Gary Megson, is among almost 20 managerial changes in England this season.

In Scotland – whose national team have failed to qualify for Euro 2008 in heartbreak fashion – top-of-the-table Celtic host Aberdeen, while Rangers travel to Falkirk.

Despite being docked 15 points, Leeds are bidding boldly for promotion to The Championship in England. A 2-1 home win over Swindon lifted Leeds, beaten just once all season, to fourth place only two points behind leaders Carlisle.
