I don’t understand it, to be honest with you. I don’t know why anybody can be bothered with that kind of stuff.

 

How do you find the time to do that? There are a million things you can do in your life without that.

Get yourself down to the library and read a book. Seriously. It is a waste of time. It seems to have a certain momentum at the moment.

 

Everyone seems to want to do it.

The Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has criticised the social networking website Twitter and hinted that his players may be banned from using it.

 

Rio Ferdinand is one of the most prolific users among the United squad and has attracted nearly a million followers. Wayne Rooney also has vast numbers who follow his observations about life; Michael Owen and Nani also use the site.

 

Rooney this week threatened a respondent who had been abusive, although he said later his threat was not meant to be taken seriously.

 

Darron Gibson took himself off Twitter after barely two hours last month, when he received abuse from United fans.

 

Ferguson said: "I don't understand it, to be honest with you. I don't know why anybody can be bothered with that kind of stuff. How do you find the time to do that? There are a million things you can do in your life without that. Get yourself down to the library and read a book. Seriously. It is a waste of time. It seems to have a certain momentum at the moment. Everyone seems to want to do it."

 

Ferguson said that anyone with a high profile needed to act with caution.

 

"It is responsibility. [Players] are responsible for their actions," he said. "We as a club are looking at it because there can be issues attached to it. And we don't want that."
