One of Sir Alex Ferguson’s few regrets is that he and Manchester United didn’t collect enough Champions League titles for a club of their stature.
Fergie won twice in 1999 and 2008, United three European Cups overall, but victories in the 2009 and 2011 finals against Barcelona would have lifted that tally to a healthier five.
Even so, the former United boss was probably left choking on his cornflakes at the weekend reading Wayne Rooney was blaming HIM for those two defeats against Pep Guardiola’s Barca in Rome and London.
