Like him or loathe him, hats off to him for the way he deflected the fact that one of his players cheated:
'Sir Alex Ferguson says Wayne Rooney apologised to him and opponents Villarreal for diving in Manchester United's 0-0 Champions League draw.
The Spanish team's players were angry after the striker went down in the box, despite no contact with the defender.
"He apologised to me and said he didn't mean to do that," said boss Ferguson.
"I think he's been watching (Villarreal forward) Robert Pires too much. At least he apologised to their players. You'd never see Pires do that."
Almost anyone else would struggle to put a positive spin on it, let alone come up with something as good as that. Pure genius
