Manchester United bossSir Alex Ferguson has ended his rift with the BBC.
Ferguson has not spoken to the corporation on team matters since 2004 following the broadcast of a TV documentary containing allegations about his son, Jason.
A joint statement released by United and the BBC today read: "Sir Alex Ferguson and the BBC have decided to put behind them the difficulties which led to Sir Alex feeling unable to appear on BBC programmes.
"This follows a meeting between Sir Alex and the BBC's director general, Mark Thompson, and BBC North director Peter Salmon, and the issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.
"Sir Alex will now make himself available to the BBC for Match of the Day, Radio 5 Live and other outlets as agreed.
"No further comment will be made by either party on this issue."
