Sir Alex: derby defeat our worst ever day

Sir Alex: derby defeat our worst ever day

24 October 2011 - 06:26

Sir Alex Ferguson was left reeling a shock 6-1 defeat to Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday evening, and shocked reporters by claiming the defeat was "my worst ever day".

  • Chelsea set to sign Crystal Palace star for £47m
  • Man Utd aiming to beat Liverpool to 25yo midfielder
  • It was United's heaviest derby defeat since 1926, and leaves them five points off of their city rivals already.



    Fergie said: "It was our worst ever day. It's the worst result in my history, ever. Even as a player I don't think I ever lost 6-1. That's a challenge for me too.



    "I can't believe the scoreline. The first goal was a blow for sure but it was retrievable at 1-0.



    "The sending off was a killer for us. We kept attacking when we went 4-1 down and we should have just said, 'We've had our day'."
