My heart sank when I saw Sir Alex Ferguson driving into Manchester United’s training ground for a meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Scot shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the place. OK, so he has a special relationship with the Portuguese superstar, who is proving more of a hindrance than a help at the moment.
But it’s not for him to dictate the outcome of the stand-off between the player and the club. That’s down to Erik ten Hag.
