Sir Alex Ferguson was always ahead of his time.
This is a recalling of how back in the day, Sir Alex went around doing his work. This is proof his hairdresser treatment spared no one.
He had an incredible striker in Dwight Yorke. However, despite Yorke being in good form, Sir Alex kept his hairdresser treatment on the guy and Yorke has finally realized that it was for his good all along.
“In the first season I scored 29 goals, in the second year I scored 26, and the gaffer said to me ‘you’re a failure’,” Yorke reflected on the video call.
“I was top scorer again and we won the Premier League, but he said I was a failure. But you look back and I get where he was coming from. This is where you need to push yourself even further by getting more than 29.”
“You look at Messi and Ronaldo and that’s the kind of levels he’s trying to push you to, but I didn’t see it then. Finishing as the top scorer with 26 goals was very rewarding for me, but the gaffer wasn’t too pleased.”
“Then in my third year I had 14 goals from 22 starts, which is not a bad return. But that wasn’t good enough at United. That was the level the manager was demanding of you and I get it now.”
