New Como signing Cesc Fabregas has recalled flinging a pizza at former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Fabregas admits he threw a slice of pizza at Ferguson during the 'Battle of the Buffet' because he didn't have the "courage to fight", but insisted he wasn't aiming for the Scot.

Speaking to ITV Sport, the former Arsenal star said: "We were 49 games unbeaten. They were so competitive but they were very smart people. I was getting a lot of stick as well.

"So, I was very frustrated. You're warming up and didn't play. You're annoyed you lost. I just went in quickly to the dressing room and there was some food there, I was starving."

The 35-year-old went on to add: "I took a slice of pizza and we started hearing noises. You started seeing players and Arsene Wenger everywhere.

"The first thing that occurred to me was to throw the pizza because I didn't have the power or the courage maybe to go into that fight. They were monsters in there. They were super, super big guys. Apparently it hit Sir Alex Ferguson."
