Robbie Brady, who played for Manchester United, shared interesting stories about her childhood with Sir Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo. Sir Ferguson is one of the greatest football coaches in history. He won 49 trophies in his coaching career, becoming the coach with the most trophies in football history. From 1986 to 2013, Sir Ferguson led Manchester United to its peak. During this period, Manchester United won 13 Premier League titles, while Sir Ferguson won 38 championships in various competitions.

During his leadership of Manchester United, he also paid great attention to things outside of football. Interesting stories about his hot personality and leadership are well known. He is especially nicknamed "the hair dryer" for his ability to control the team. Although he looks irritable and frightening on the outside, he actually cares about the players and has a kind side.

Brady, who was born in Manchester United youth team, has become a hot topic about his experience with Ferguson. Brady recently spoke with the Irish media The Irish Times. The incident of his reprimanding by Ferguson for clashing with Ronaldo on Manchester United's training ground has been exposed again.

According to media reports, Brady was queuing up to have a meal in the restaurant. At this time, he saw Ronaldo, who had just finished taking a shower, walking towards him. He was in awe of the rising world's top star Ronaldo. Out of politeness, he gave up the team to Ronaldo and let him stand in front of him.

However, when Ferguson saw this scene of Brady, he was furious and asked him why he let Ronaldo stand in front of him. When Brady replied that he was only out of courtesy, Ferguson rebuked him harshly. "I hope you think you are better than Ronaldo. I hope you believe you can take his place in the team. I don't want you to succumb to him. Don't do that anymore."

Brady later recalled that day. Brady told the Ireland Times: "When I went to Manchester United, Manchester United was the largest club in the world. I was still in awe. I think it took me a while to understand what it actually brought to me." Brady played only one game for Manchester United, and then moved to Hull City, Norwich City, Burnley, Bournemouth and Preston.
