Man Utd pile on agony for Wenger

Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger were inches apart but heading in opposite directions - one pondering fresh possibilities to make history and the other starting a critical period of soul-searching.
Manchester United had brushed Arsenal aside with a savagery, speed and ruthlessness that had plenty of observers at the Emirates labelling it as this sport's equivalent of Manny Pacquiao's demolition of Ricky Hatton.
So while Ferguson was presented with the possibility of making Manchester United the first club to successfully defend the Champions League, Wenger was dealing with the pain of four years without a trophy and the problem of how to bridge the gaping chasm between these two clubs.
The scale of this defeat was etched on the lines of Wenger's face as he attempted to come to terms with the blow he and Arsenal had just suffered in the aftermath of what might be a pivotal night for his club.
Wenger boldly promised those gathering at the Emirates that they would see "a magnificent performance". They saw one all right - but they saw it from Manchester United.
Ferguson, in a masterpiece of understatement, reacted to what was effectively a 3-1 thrashing by annoucing that his team "has got a lot going for it".
