Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is to meet with BBC chief Mark Thompson, according to the Daily Mirror.

Ferguson has refused to talk to the corportation for seven years, after they aired a programme in May 2004 which raised allegations against the Scotsman’s son, Jason, a football agent.

Despite not taking legal action over the accusations, the former Aberdeen boss has maintained he will not speak to the BBC until an apology is issued.

Now with Ferguson’s stance increasingly in the spotlight following a recent media blackout after his side’s 3-1 defeat to Liverpool, the Premier League are keen to see a restoration to relations between the two parties, especially as Ferguson’s total fines are believed to be reaching six figures.

Whilst there has been no official word from Old Trafford over the prospective meeting, it is thought to have been scheduled for the end of the season.
