Red Bull Arena impresses Man Utd boss

The venue for this season's MLS All-Star clash has impressed the coach of the visiting Manchester United team.

Sir Alex Ferguson and his men will take on MLS' best at New York's Red Bull Arena in July and the boss of the English Premier League powerhouse is excited about bringing his squad to such a remarkable stadium.

"I'm very, very impressed. I think this a real football stadium,'' Ferguson said. "Sometimes you go abroad and you have these big huge tracks separating the football field from the spectators. Well, to me, that's not a real football stadium.

"Stadiums like Manchester United and Liverpool and Everton, and here with the Red Bulls, the crowd's right on top of you.

"It creates a fantastic atmosphere for the players and the spectators, and we're looking forward to that."
