A tainted Manchester United love affair

After back to back defeats, Manchester United face an awkward trip to English third tier side Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup on Monday.

One man who knows both teams well is midfielder Richie Wellens, who started his career at Manchester United and recently signed for Shrewsbury.

He is cup-tied so can't play in the game on Monday night, and he's been telling us about how his love affair with United nearly ended after he was released by Sir Alex Ferguson.
