Ferguson is furious his team must play Everton at Old Trafford in a Premier League fixture on Sunday, while Real Madrid, who host United in the Champions League last-16 first leg on Wednesday, have been allowed to bring their Liga clash with Sevilla forward to Saturday. <img alt="Alex Ferguson" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/feb/Ferguson.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 386px;" /> Alex Ferguson Ferguson believes the extra time Madrid now have to recover could be crucial and he launched a scathing attack on the EPL for failing to reschedule the Everton match. &ldquo;The Premier League agree the contract with TV and they are in control. But they are not giving our teams a chance to be successful in Europe,&rdquo; Ferguson was quoted as saying in several English newspapers. &ldquo;It is ridiculous to think we are playing on Sunday and Madrid have an extra day&rsquo;s rest. It is not fair. France play Friday nights. Why? Possibly we (England) get more money out of television, I don&rsquo;t know. &ldquo;Other countries make sacrifices for their top teams in Europe. What can you do? Not turn up? I would like to do that by the way,&rdquo; he added.
