NYON, Switzerland, May 1: UEFA on Thursday fined Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson 10,000 Swiss francs (8,000 dollars) for suggesting that the Champions League quarter-final draw was fixed.
European football’s governing body said in a statement that its disciplinary body had found that Ferguson made “improper statements to the media”, after a meeting here.
