United 0 Liverpool 1
The noises coming out of the Manchester United and Liverpool camps are all very positive. Listen to bosses Alex Ferguson and Gerard Houllier and you could be convinced next season the title will be theirs. It would appear this season has simply been a freak. Injuries and bans have conspired against them and Arsenal will not have another season like this. Oh, yes, they will be back. Ferguson said: “If you’re fortunate, you live with success in football. But the nature of the game means you also live with disappointment as we know only too well this season. Great clubs always come back, just as Manchester United will. And, given patience, so will Liverpool.” The question is when? Despite all the very positive words from Ferguson and Houllier, the evidence of Saturday suggested something very different. This was the dullest, most low-key, lacking-in-quality clash between the two you are likely to see.
Ruud in punch-up
Ruud van Nistelrooy has had an ugly training ground bust-up with team-mate David Bellion. The clash last Friday casts another cloud over his Manchester United future. SunSport understands Van Nistelrooy and the French forward had to be separated by coach Mike Phelan. Van Nistelrooy was seen to be in the wrong and Phelan ordered him to apologise. But the Dutch striker refused and stormed off. He was left out of United’s team for Saturday’s defeat by Liverpool, with the club claiming the Dutch ace had a thigh strain. Mysteriously, though, he failed to turn up at Old Trafford to support the side as is usual. The incident is another example of Van Nistelrooy’s deteriorating relationship with United.
Keano secret trip to Celtic
Doubts over Roy Kean´e Manchester United future increased last night after he was spotted at Celtic Park. Midfielder Keane was seen at the home of Celtic just a few hours after United´s defeat to Liverpool on Saturday. His trip to Glasgow, to the club where he has said he would like to finish his career, fuels speculation that his departure from Old Trafford is imminent.
