United fans turn on Fergie

Sir Alex Ferguson was subjected to the sustained fury of Manchester United supporters as Manchester City’s victory sparked a mutinous reaction at the final whistle.

With stewards deployed to prevent fans removing the 'Chosen One’ banner at the Stretford End – unveiled following David Moyes’s appointment as Ferguson’s hand-picked successor last summer – former manager Ferguson bore the brunt of anger from fans close to the directors’ box in the earshot of executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and managing director Richard Arnold.

One supporter was also photographed being escorted away from the area close to Moyes’s seat in the dug-out by stewards after appearing to gesture for the Scot to resign.

Ferguson was berated with expletive-laden outbursts from supporters complaining at the state of the team left behind on his retirement as well as his decision to anoint Moyes as his replacement.

Moyes’s future is now likely to come under the microscope again, despite the ongoing position from the club that he will remain in charge to rebuild the squad this summer.

I just could not bring myself to support Utd. It felt wrong that I was even hoping for a draw. At least the pints that went down last night helped me wash out the thought of supporting the Moyes brigade.

I supported United. Them being seventh and us having a chance of the title made that easy for me.

I had a good chat with me dad before, he was pretty torn about it. I think he was also hoping for a Utd win.

It's okay the Man U players ensured that we didn't have to support them long... After 40seconds or so it was evident they weren't going to get anything out of the game.

I just couldn't bring myself to support them, maybe if they had a chance of winning I might've considered it but what a waste of energy it would've been last night.
