Sir Alex Ferguson launched a huge rant at former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher when he was 15-years-old - because he was considering rejecting the club.The Red Devils made contact with Fletcher early, but the midfielder didn't make an immediate decision and it left Fergie sweating."I had been going to United from the age of 12 and Newcastle at this point were the second-biggest team.
"I'm 15, just chalk-white and he's f'ing and giving it to me down the phone. My mum sees me and grabs the phone and listens for a few seconds and goes, 'don't speak to my son like that ever again', and slams the phone down. Fletcher was struck down with ulcerative colitis in 2011 which had an impact on his final few seasons in Manchester.
