Sir Alex Ferguson yesterday said Manchester United would solve the problem of how to deal with Lionel Messi ahead of his Champions League final showdown with Barcelona
Sir Alex Ferguson yesterday said Manchester United would solve the problem of how to deal with Lionel Messi ahead of his Champions League final showdown with Barcelona.
Messi stole the show for Barcelona two years ago, when the Spanish giants outclassed favourites United to win the 2009 final in Rome.
Ferguson insisted however that United would not allow themselves to become obsessed with a gameplan to shackle the South American maestro.
"We have played against Barcelona three times with Messi in the team," Ferguson said. "But there is always a solution to every good player. Hopefully we can find one on Saturday. They have other good players though, and so do we. That is why it is such an appealing game."
