Sir Alex Ferguson was never short of an opinion when it came to Real Madrid’s way of doing business.
Six months before Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United for the Bernabeu, Ferguson blasted that he “wouldn’t sell them a virus” having previously questioned Madrid’s morals and praised the Glazers for their “to hell with them” attitude to the Spanish giants, who the Scot also referred to as “that mob”.
So it was nothing new to find Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane last week talking up the possibility of Paul Pogba one day quitting United for Madrid.
