Daily Star

The Daily Star has today run a story in which criticism of Manchester United’s team selection for the FA Cup Semi Final is made. The story quotes an "FC United Executive"?? and attributes various comments allegedly made by this "executive"??.

No spokesperson for FC United made these comments.

John Mahoney of the Daily Star did contact FC United on Monday evening hoping for a comment. It was made clear to Mr Mahoney that we would not be commenting. Nor were any ’off-the-record’ quotes provided and crucially nothing was even said that could have been interpreted as such.

An FC United Spokesperson said:

"For those of us involved at the time, there was a policy in IMUSA that we would never comment on team selection, which was a policy that served us well and won us respect. FC United are not about to start now"??.

FC United are today taking legal advice and will demand a full retraction and apology from the Daily Star.
