Yeah .... but ..... how do you explain him being absolutely devastated and clearly unhappy during the game?

Ferguson said: "Do you want to get to the Wayne Rooney nonsense first? Or do you want to talk sense? The issue you're all going on about is absolute rubbish. I have banned two papers from the press conferences and they won't get back in here until they apologise. There's absolutely no issue between Wayne and I. The suggestion we don't talk to each other on the training ground is nonsense.
"He will be here next year, you have my word on that. There are no issues at all with the player and he will be involved on Sunday.
We don't always get it right but we definitely did on Tuesday
"He understood the reasons for not playing him, it was completely tactical. It was purely tactical and he understood that and i think we were right. We don't always get it right but we got it right.
"Danny Welbeck is the best player we have in terms of operating in a double role. We had to choke Xabi Alonso's ability to control the game, which Danny did, and that took away Alonso's control of the game and his ability to go further forward and be an attacking player.

Good to see Fergie holding the press accountable. Either (a) back it up, (b) admit publicly it was a fabrication or (c) stay away.
