Manchester United FC news: Ferguson just loved knocking Liverpool off their perch

To Sir Alex Ferguson, all that mattered was beating Liverpool. The game was massive to him, according to Andy Cole.

In the boss’ own words, knocking the Reds “off their f***ing perch,” was his greatest challenge when he arrived at Old Trafford in 1986.

Ferguson was so happy if United beat their north west rivals that he could be spotted dancing in the changing room afterwards, while Cole revealed the Scot even forgot to fine him for picking up a red card during one fixture.

“Every game was big but then there was Liverpool,” he told The Sun.
