Ferguson dismisses Red Knights link (8/3/2010)
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has rejected claims he is supporting a potential takeover of the club by a group of wealthy fans.
It had been suggested Ferguson would invest his own money in the club if the bid by the "Red Knights" succeeded.
But Ferguson insisted the reports are "absolute rubbish - there is not an ounce of truth in it".
On Sunday one of the "Red Knights" told BBC Sport that they had had no contact with Ferguson.
A United spokesman added: "[The owners] the Glazer family and the manager enjoy 100% trust in each other."
The debt level of more than £700m incurred under the Glazers on a once-debt free company has caused unease among some supporters.
Thousands of fans have joined the green and gold protest against the Americans, who bought the club in 2005, by wearing the colours of Newton Heath - the club was renamed Manchester United in 1902.
