Ferguson ends BBC boycott
Sir Alex Ferguson has ended his BBC boycott, the corporation have announced.
The Manchester United manager has refused to talk directly to the Beeb since 2004 in protest at allegation made against his son, Jason, in a Panorama documentary.
However, Ferguson has now agreed to lift the ban following a meeting with BBC director general Mark Thompson.
Disappointingly, Mike Phelan is yet to comment. However, in a statement on their own website, United have confirmed:
'Sir Alex will now make himself available to the BBC for Match of the Day, Radio 5 Live and other outlets as agreed.
'No further comment will be made by either party on this issue.'
