Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has joked that red wine helped him get over the anguish of losing the Premier League title to Manchester City, according to an article published by the Mirror.

Sir Alexs side finished second to their local rivals, City, on goal difference. Donning a big grin the Scot admitted "red wine helps," when asked about how he dealt with the disappointment.

He refused to go into anymore detail on his title anguish, although he did take his usual three-week trip to the South of France and was spotted at last weekends Wimbledon final - in which he saw fellow countryman, Andy Murray, beaten by Roger Federer.

The 70 year-old United boss is known to enjoy a glass of wine with opposition mangers after a game. Away from football he also lists wine as one of his major interests and has a collection of clarets stored in his cellar.
