Sir Alex Ferguson was not one to mince his words during his time in the dugout at Manchester United, and he supposedly had a select group of players that he would lay intoLegendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson chose specific players to clash with, including his own captain, says Peter Schmeichel. Iconic Danish goalkeeper Schmeichel, who made nearly 400 appearances under Ferguson, came clean about his former boss's tactics and the particular group he would single out for criticism more than others. "What I learned very quickly was that Sir Alex Ferguson needed an out," Schmeichel revealed, speaking to Gary Neville on the Stick to Football podcast, sponsored by Sky Bet. "When I was travelling with the team around that time and when I first broke into the team, Sir Alex Ferguson would have a go at players sometimes," Neville added. More international players came and certainly in the 2000's in was different again."
