Fergie 'lie' over Rooney virus
ALEX FERGUSON was last night accused of 'degrading' Nigeria and 'lying' over Wayne Rooney's mystery illness.
And it was also claimed Manchester United failed to visit an orphanage, cold-shouldered African fans and snubbed official commitments.
Fergie insisted Rooney — and team-mate Michael Carrick — caught viruses during the pre-season trip, where they played FA Cup winners Portsmouth.
But that triggered a backlash from the organiser, Bassey Ndem, who said: “They did not catch it in Nigeria.
“It's a lie from the pit of hell and it's sad someone had to go to that length to degrade Nigeria. Rooney only sat in his hotel room. He was in Nigeria for less than 24 hours.†-TheSun
