"I do not receive any payments, directly or indirectly, from the IPO. … the Glazer family have let me get on with my job, there is no interference or obstruction, only support."

-- Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson denies British media reports that he will gain financially from the EPL club's flotation on the New York Stock Exchange. The American Glazer family has been unpopular with Man United fans since taking over the club in 2005 with a leveraged buyout. The club's debt was rated at $663 million as of March 31. The Glazers aim to raise around $300 million by selling shares on the NYSE. (AP)
