Sir Alex Ferguson hated one aspect of his time as Manchester United head coach and it made him regret it.

Sir Alex Ferguson spent 27 years at Manchester United and built the most successful dynasty in the history of the Old Trafford team with 13 Premier League titles out of a total of 20 titles, along with 2 Champions League trophies.

(PLO) – After Liverpool, it was Manchester United’s turn to be angry with VAR in their 0-1 defeat to Crystal Palace at home at Old Trafford in round 7 of the Premier League.

To put it mildly, Sir Alex Ferguson was never afraid to make big decisions as MU coach. World -class players like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Jaap Stam, club legends like David Beckham and Roy Keane all left Old Trafford because of internal trouble and turned on the legendary Scottish coach. The message Sir Alex Ferguson sent to all MU players is very clear. Once you let your ego surpass your team, no matter how good your ability is, there will be no way back.

But no matter how tough he was, Sir Alex Ferguson also had a softer side. And although there was no shortage of stars leaving Manchester during Fergie’s 27 years in charge, letting his players leave was something that Sir Alex Ferguson hated and regretted.

Indeed, the MU squad that won Sir Alex Ferguson’s first two Premier League titles soon fell apart, before he rebuilt them so that the “red devils” of Manchester won 11 more Premier League titles. However, the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson had to say goodbye to the players who “tasted thorns” with him in the early stages at Old Trafford was something that tormented him.

In the documentary “Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In”, Sir Alex Ferguson shared: “In terms of regrets, the 1994 team I had, the four defenders seemed to all age together, and that was a terrible thing to happen to the manager , because these people are amazing to me.

Paul Parker, Steve Bruce, Gary Pallister, Denis Irwin, they were great players. They gave me nine or 10 years and the proof was always on the football field. They don’t see it (the players get older). I see it. The problem for me is “What do I do about it?” I tried to arrange for them to leave and go to another team. They did a great job of it, but telling them you guys had to leave was very, very difficult.”

Sir Alex Ferguson was also heartbroken when he was forced to tell the young players that their dream at Old Trafford was over: “The same thing happened when I had to let the young players go. The process of being a team coach The children, staff and players you are about to let go will come to see me.

Maybe they were only 17 or 18 years old. The way we explained it was we would try to find them a football team. We will try to get them a club and “We’re sorry we have to do that”. This is terrible, it’s the worst thing to have to let young players go.

All their ambitions, hopes and desires were to play for Manchester United in front of 75,000 people and go to Wembley in the final. That’s the ambition of every kid who comes to Manchester United, and when you take that away from him, take away his ambition, it stings, it stings. So I hate that. I really, really hate that.”

Of course, many of the young players that Sir Alex Ferguson kept at Manchester United later went into the history of the Old Trafford team. It is the famous “golden generation of 1992”, including David Beckham, Nicky Butt , Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes, all of whom lifted the Champions League and Premier League titles with Manchester United.
