Man Utd Supporters Club distances itself from Ferguson endorsement of the PL

The Manchester United Supporters Club Malta in a statement this morning said that it did not request the endorsement given by Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson to one of the local political parties. The Labour Party in an advert carried in The Times today reproduces a letter from Sir Alex were he says: "I sincerely hope that the people of Malta support Dr Joseph Muscat in his quest to bring the Labour Party back into power in Malta. My own background all my life has been linked to the Labour Party because of the fundamental beliefs in looking after the working class in terms of health, education and wellbeing. "I wish them well in the future campaign and am sure that they will be successful." The PL also received an endorsement from former UK Labour leader Tony Blair.
