Sir Alex Ferguson has renewed calls for the introduction of a winter break to be scheduled into the regular English football season.
The Manchester United manager insists he has supported the possibility of a mid-season break in the domestic calendar for many years.
Ferguson told the official Manchester United magazine, Inside United: "I've always been a supporter.
"It makes me laugh when managers come out and talk about winter breaks - I championed it when I was manager of Aberdeen in 1980 and I did again when I first came down here in 1986!
"And there's still nothing done, it's ridiculous. We had international friendlies at the beginning of June so why can't we play the season until the end of May? The players need to keep going anyway for these internationals.
"The Christmas programme is great in this country; we get great crowds then but why not start a three-week ban on January 1 and use the whole of May when the weather is better?"
Yes I agree great suggestion by the man utd legendary manager Sir Alex even though i dun really like him but this suggestion is good
