Manchester United will host Fulham on the opening day this weekend. Do you know the Fergie XI that scared the newly promoted Cottagers in 2001?
Jean Tigana’s championship winners turned up at Old Trafford and scared a team boasting two big summer signings into taking the lead twice.
Sir Alex Ferguson was so furious that he then punished Fulham by signing the striker. And one of United’s centre-backs who scored the goal never played for Fergie again. Not only because of this, but the other reasons were not falsified either.
United, however, responded, thanks in large part to a brace from one of those summer signings.
