Man Utd star pointed shotgun at Sir Alex Ferguson after furious X-rated row

Manchester United stars rarely got on the wrong side of Sir Alex Ferguson and survived at the club to tell the tale, especially the one who responded by aiming a shotgun at the boss.

But that's what one of Ferguson's key men did in response to a heated row back in the 1993/94 campaign, a season that yielded the second of the Scottish manager's 13 Premier League titles in charge. In April that season though, the outcome was anything but a formality, with United beating Norwich 3-1 to close gap on Aston Villa to a single point.

For a man who would become defined by demanding the very best, the three points weren't enough. Rather than laud the performance, he chose instead to lambast midfielder Paul Ince, who had failed to tee up Eric Cantona for a simple chance during the game.
