Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had no complaints after seeing his side lose 2-1 to Zenit St Petersburg in the European Super Cup in Monaco.

The Red Devils' evening was further ruined by the late sending-off of Paul Scholes, who will now miss his side's opening Champions League game of the campaign at home to Villarreal.

SIR ALEX FERGUSON

Ferguson admitted: "I cannot deny that Zenit deserved to win the game. I think that they probably just shaded is a little from us.

"The one thing that kept them going was that they had three occasions when they got to the byline in the first 20 minutes and that was a concern for me.

"I was obviously looking forward to half-time to eradicate that, which we did in the second half.

"I think in tight games, whoever scores the first goal is in a good position and conceding the first goal right on half-time was a bad goal for us.

"There was not much in it and we congratulate St Petersburg on the victory."

Ferguson added of experienced midfielder Scholes, who was red-carded for deliberate handball: "The sending-off was unfortunate, it was an instinctive thing.

"The fact he had already been booked meant he had to go, unfortunately."
