Manchester United players face restrictions on Twitter

Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson has questioned the use of Twitter and the club is considering the possibility of limiting the use of the network among its players.

Striker Wayne Rooney this week threatened to send "to sleep in 10 seconds " to a Twitter user, having received insulting messages.

His teammate Darron Gibson closed last month his Twitter account, just two hours after opening, after receiving messages of supposed insults United fans.

Ferguson reminded his players that they "are responsible for their actions. As a team, we are analyzing the situation, because there may be some problems and we do not want that. "

Ferguson said that Twitter is a waste of time. "

The defender Rio Ferdinand, an avid user of Twitter, replied in the same network: "The powers in charge are considering setting limits. "
