One Last try



We all remember that Becks goal. But what we didn't know is the fact that Sir Alex was ready to take him off right before the ball went in.

After he tried to score a similar goal and missed, Sir Alex turned to Brian Kid who was his assistant and said;
"If he tries that again he, is off."
 Minutes later, Becks tries again and this time it's a goal. Kidd turns to Sir Alex and told him;
"We'll have to take him off."

I'm dead...

Sir Alex had an argument with Peter Schmeichel and when asked what it was like, this is what he (SAF) said;
 
“He was towering over me and the other players were almost covering their eyes. I’m looking up and thinking ‘if he does hit me, I’m dead’”

Don't we all wish someone had a camera in there? But this might just help our imagination.

Evra's debut


By: @MUFCTanzania

It was against Manchester City in which we lost by 3 -1.


Evra;
"Sir Alex took me off after 45 minutes,I could tell he was angry. He just looked at me, deadly serious, and said, "Mr Evra, now just watch and see what is English football. And learn."


All is well now.

The SAF Chronicles

He is also known as Furious Fergie and he IS Manchester United. You don't successful run a football club for nearly three decades without making some crazy fun stories along the way. In the name of fun, we will be sharing some interesting quotes about Alex Ferguson whenever we can.

Q: Is it true that Alex Ferguson made you cut your hair?

Bebe: He advised me to do that that, yes. I went into his room and saw that he was looking at me, very seriously. ‘Hmmm, that hair.’ Of course, I cut it on the same day. In the next training he did not recognise me (laughs). I passed him several times and did not realise it was me.
