Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has told of the time he received the Sir Alex Ferguson ‘hairdryer’ treatment — in just his second game at the club.
The Frenchman had scored three times in his first two matches for his new team in 2004, which included a first-half brace in a 4-3 win over Everton. But the attacker had revealed he was still subject to the verbal wrath of Sir Alex despite his double, after missing two gilt-edged chances.
Speaking to SPORTbible (via Freebets), Saha said: "I've been on the end of this, but when he gave you the hairdryer treatment, he did it because he wanted you to improve. He didn't do it because he had an ego, it was because he was protecting the institution of Man United and how standards needed to be respected.”
