Sir Alex Ferguson has denied suggestions he may have had
influence over referees during his decorated career.
Comments from former official Mark Halsey this week, in
which he referred to having a "good relationship" with the Scot, led
to claims Ferguson may have had undue influence during his long stay in charge
of Manchester United.
Ferguson denied any wrongdoing, though, and said the
extent of his relationship with Halsey had been to support him during his
battle with cancer.
"I can't believe...obviously there is an Alex
Ferguson element in his book, he thought was important," the former United
manager told MUTV.
