Ex-Manchester United youngster Mads Timm recalls the time Sir Alex Ferguson called him a ‘f****** idiot’ for driving a Porsche to training

Former Manchester United starlet Mads Timm knows exactly what it's like to receive the hairdryer treatment from legendary Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

And now the Danish forward, who played for United between 2002 and 2006 but made just one senior appearance for the Premier League giants, has revealed how Ferguson once called him 'f****** idiot' for driving a Porsche to training.

Timm, who was released by United in 2006 and convicted of dangerous driving in 2005, tried to hide the fact he was arriving to training in the fancy car from notorious tough-nut boss Ferguson.
