Exclusive: Sir Alex Ferguson refuses to talk to Sky TV after Wayne Rooney digs

Sir Alex Ferguson is refusing to speak to Sky TV after a row over remarks criticising his England striker Wayne Rooney.

Manchester United boss Fergie will not co-operate with Sky at tonight's Battle of Britain clash against Celtic.

Fergie is annoyed with the Soccer Saturday coverage of Man United's clash with Everton and has warned Sky they can forget about him for the forseeable future.

In a heated studio discussion it was claimed that Rooney should have been sent off for kissing the United badge when he went back to Everton - and that he might have seen red against Hull.

Ferguson was seething about the comments, and has told Sky that he will not do a one-to-one chat with them at any stage of the Celtic match.

He has a long-running feud with the BBC and has refused to co-operate with them following the broadcasting of a documentary 'Fergie and Son' in 2004.

Sky, midway through their £1.3billion three-year Premier League deal, hope to broker a peace deal before Saturday's Arsenal v United showdown.
