Barcelona snubbed as Man United get White House invite

ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MANU ... Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United squad outside the White House

MANCHESTER UNITED have had to suffer at the hands of Barcelona in two Champions League finals.

But they finally put one over the Catalan giants here in Washington yesterday.

While the Barca players were moved on for jogging outside the White House, Alex Ferguson and his United players and staff received an invite inside.

President Barack Obama was too busy to meet them as he sorts out America's massive debt problems.

But they were still allowed to wander around the most famous house in the world - defender Rio Ferdinand even had time to tweet a picture from inside.

Boss Fergie said: "It was fantastic, we all enjoyed it. It was fascinating.

"I'd been before but it still excites. It's such a historic and incredible place. We all enjoyed it - it was good."
