Calderon slams Ferguson

Real Madrid chairman Roman Calderon has laughed off claims from Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson that Madrid's transfer policy was intentionally unsettling players.

"I don't believe they were interested in Heinze - good player though he is. The end game was to get Ronaldo,'' Ferguson said in an interview with GQ Magazine:

"What made it really obscene was that Madrid, as General Franco's club, had a history of being able to get whoever and whatever they wanted, before democracy came to Spain.

''Madrid is not doing anything to disturb a 'friend club' like Manchester. We are two very big clubs. We want to be good friends forever.

Then Calderon slammed Ferguson by calling him 'an old man': "I'm not going to waste any time answering him, I admire his record, but he is getting old."
