Man Utd boss Ferguson admits doing Bursaspor homework

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits they've doing their homework on Champions League opponents Bursaspor.

United have never faced the Turkish champs in competition.

Ferguson told Inside United: "We watch a lot of videos, and my brother Martin and our chief scout Jim Lawlor have been to see Bursaspor twice. It's a long journey to get there but we have decent knowledge of them now.

"They have four Argentinians, two Brazilians... the club have spent a lot of money over the last few years, thanks to their Russian owner. It's going to be a tricky trip with one of those typical Turkish atmospheres."
