8. In The Court of Sir Alex

Ahead of the Manchester derby, Paul McCarthy speaks to Danny Taylor (The Athletic) and David McDonnell (Daily Mirror) about the greatest manager of the modern era - Sir Alex Ferguson. He asks them both what it was like dealing with Fergie's infamous hairdryer treatment, and if they enjoyed being in the presence of such a divisive figure in football.
