But a few days after I found out that my competitor in the attack in the reserve teams, Danny Webber, had signed a contract with Alex Ferguson's son, Jason, who had set up as a football agent. "At the same time Webber [had his contract] extended by United. It was an open secret at training that both Alex Ferguson and his son had made a good deal, and that Webber had to be rewarded with a place on the bench in a Champions League match.
