Sir Alex backs Tamsin for Reds win

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he's hoping to celebrate another unique treble in the next few days.

His United team will be looking to add the Champions League trophy to their Premiership title in Moscow tomorrow night.

Then on Thursday Sir Alex says he'll be keeping a close eye on another Reds vs Blues clash in the Crewe and Nantwich by-election and he's backing Labour's Tamsin Dunwoody to win.

Sir Alex said: "This is a crunch tie between the Reds and the Blues and there's only one winner for me. I knew Gwyneth Dunwoody - she stood up for Crewe and got things done and Tamsin is a chip off the old block.

"Just like my team she's top of the league, a champion. I'd urge people to vote for Tamsin Dunwoody on Thursday."

Tamsin added: "Sir Alex knew my mother and respected her as someone who was a fighter and spoke her mind.

"It was great to meet him before the team flew out to Moscow, we both wished each other success in our battles in the next few days and let's hope there's two red wins at the end of it."
