United travel to Real Madrid next Wednesday for their UEFA Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie, with the Red Devils in domestic action against Everton this Sunday.
Madrid take on Seville in La Liga this Saturday, and Ferguson is fuming over what he believes is the Premier League's failure to better arrange matches for broadcast to allow English clubs time to recuperate.
"How many times have I complained about it? You've heard my complaints. Do they listen?" the Scot said. "What can you do? Not turn up? I would like to do that by the way.
"The Premier League agree the contract with TV and they are in control but they are not giving our teams a chance to be successful in Europe. It is ridiculous to think we are playing on Sunday and Real Madrid have an extra day's rest.
"It is not fair. France play Friday nights. Why? Possibly we (England) get more money out of television I don't know. Other countries make sacrifices for their top teams in Europe."
