Sir Alex Ferguson didn't go easy on his Manchester United stars after their extraordinary Premier League title defeat to Manchester City in 2011/12
Sir Alex Ferguson pulled no punches as he delivered a brutal ‘I told you’ message to his crestfallen players straight after Manchester United’s title defeat to Manchester City.
But then Edin Dzeko headed home in the 92nd minute before Sergio Aguero – accompanied by Martin Tyler’s iconic commentary on Sky Sports – smashed home the goal that won the league on goal difference. The stunning news soon filtered through to dumfounded United players and fans at the Stadium of Light.
"That's how much of a winner he was, how ruthless he wanted us to be. If we'd done that, scored more goals, really killed teams, we'd have won the league in 11/12." United bounced back in style by romping to the title in 2012/13, Sir Alex’s final season before retirement. That was followed by an era of City domination, with seven Premier League titles heading to the Etihad over the next decade.
