Martin Keown has reacted angrily to discovering that Sir Alex Ferguson described Arsenal players as ‘babies’ when motivating his Manchester United stars ahead of matches between the two.
Former United defender Rio Ferdinand revealed how Ferguson used to approach matches against the Gunners, who were his main domestic adversaries for much of his 27-year stint in the Old Trafford dugout.
The rivalry between the two clubs defined multiple Premier League titles in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before the North London side were eclipsed by Chelsea at the top end of the standings before Manchester City and later Liverpool became regular title contenders at their expense.
