The week after they won the CWC Final they beat Rangers in the Cup Final in Extra Time and Ferguson called it "a disgrace of a performance" because they only won 1-0. The standards he set were unbelievable.
Man said we didn't win titles so I don't give a sh*t about your golden boot‘But the gaffer [Sir Alex Ferguson] left me out in the last game of the season. He said, ‘you’re not challenging for the Golden Boot, we didn’t win the league son, you’re out’. He left him on the stands man, not even on the bench. I didn’t even have a hope! ‘I was up there and was thinking that was a game I could get a few [Charlton]. One more goal! He made me sharp, in that moment
‘No trophies that year so that message, ‘your goals, fine, they help us but you need to connect it to titles’. That was the message.
Nearly everything I have said over the years has been spot on. Which is incredible when you think about it. How can one person be so right.
While other Premier League mangers, like Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, have come under intense scrutiny this season, Mikel Arteta has seemingly been given a free pass despite his side sitting lower in the Premier League than any other ‘Big Six’ team. Arsenal fans have been told to trust the process.
Ruud van Nistelrooy reveals Ferguson blocked him from beating Thierry Henry
Very harsh from Ferguson.metro.co.uk

Think it was Scholes who said he'd sulk on the team bus if he found out Henry had scored. Henry said recently he didn't care about individual stuff if it meant we didn't win. Remember all those one on one's he was squaring to Ljungberg the last day, think it was 02-03?Ruud van Nistelrooy reveals Ferguson blocked him from beating Thierry Henry

Ruud was obessed with Thierry it seems, while Henry didn't seem to care at all about him...still beat him to the Golden Boot 4 times in the 5 years they were in the league though
Imagine even having a Thierry/King debate about the NLD in their time! What next Keane and Rosler discussing the "great" United/City rivalry of the 90's?
Thierry didn't even care about Tottenham seems to be an ongoing thing with the king.
Ruud openly admits he followed the majority of Thierry's career and when you think about it, he won the WC pretty young so it makes sense. It would be kinda like Mbappe's peers looking at him in a way.
I desperately hope that this addressed at some point in the near future from the top down with REAL footballing personnel in charge,
Hard to think he's still 39. He looks like he's in his 50s.
"With a guy like Mikel Arteta..."Mad Jens is not so mad after all.
This is the crux of the whole problem. A lot of people have convinced themselves that Arteta is this untapped genius waiting to be unleashed, one who will take us to the promised land. Which is why they don't care if we finish 10th/12th, play crap football, break unwanted records left, right and center.Bit sick of seeing this on social media platforms tbf. Fergie had managed 3 clubs and a national team before going to United. He’d already won the Scottish league, the Scottish cup, and beat Real Madrid in the final of the European cup.
He hadn’t just been an assistant with an iPad.
