Sir Alex FergusonAccording to the first, the heavy management style would have put him in trouble, according to the first Manchester United Defender Patrice Evra.
With the hairdryer treatment of the scot and the borderline intimidation of famous opponents and officials, the stories about Ferguson’s strict approach were not lost through time.

The midfielder was later seen with an eye injury in training. But as Evra remembered, Ferguson’s will to win did not end with competitive competitions. Indeed, his anger even extended to the then youngster Danny Welbeck after missing a penalty in a friendly game in Saudi.
‘[Wayne] Rooney gave the ball to Welbeck, but he missed the punishment, “said Evra. ‘We lost the game, but it was a friendly, like a 45 -minute game.
‘When we came back to the dressing room, Ferguson [shouted] “Welbeck!” Me and Welbeck were in the toilet, he had a puddle, but Ferguson screamed.
“” Who the F *** do you think you are? Comes in the first team and takes a penalty “. I had something like “Boss, it’s just a friendly game”. He was the friendly game as “F ***. “

Still, incredible, after they had initially told Nani by confronting Carragher, some of his teammates were soon not interested when they saw that Nani was crying about the incident.
Evra remembered that Paul Scholes said ‘F *** off’ when he saw his teammate in tears. Later, in the retention of the Frenchman, Ferguson ‘I hope your leg is broken, a united player cannot cry at Anfield’.
“We were bad people,” Evra added. ‘I want to apologize to all young people who have trained with us. We were animals. ‘
“After the game we waited for the next day when we were going to kill Nani,” he continued. ‘To tell you how filthy we were, we didn’t care. If you bleed and you cry, you’re done, you don’t make part of us.
“Ferguson had to give him a week off to recover from it because we waited to kill him. Even now in the WhatsApp group of Man United, we still cried that photo from Nani in Anfield.
