United directors dismayed with Fergie over sackings.

David Gill is set for talks with Fergie over three high-profile sackings.

United boss Ferguson has kicked out captain Roy Keane, top scorer Ruud van Nistelrooy and now doctor Mike Stone.

He was backed from on high over the situation with Keane, although directors wish it had been avoided. But it is the recent handling of Dr Stone that has caused the most anxiety inside Old Trafford.

The Sun says directors are said to be 'saddened' by what has happened and Gill is concerned. He had given Stone permission to do his extra work outside of his duties at United. Yet Ferguson cited that as his reason for firing the medic.

Stone believes it was his efforts with Rooney and the positive messages he was giving to England that have worked against him.

Now Gill wants to know exactly why this situation has come about. Key figures are also troubled by the loss of Van Nistelrooy.
