When people are driving together in a car, they usually chat, even the taxi drivers. But sometimes, there is an awkward silence during the drive, usually between couples who just had a fight…or between sir Alex Ferguson and Nani. Former Manchester United player used to drive his coach home after a certain games, and the two chatted about various topics, until he made a mistake at a Fulham game…and then it became a little unpleasant.Nani: ‘Sir Alex Ferguson allowed players to arrive at training drunk’The year was 2010 and the Portuguese was playing for Manchester United and by accident, his boss became his regular travel partner when the team played in London.„Ferguson was my neighbour and we used to go to London by train. His wife or his family used to leave him in the train station so on the way back he has no driver to take him so he was looking for someone who lives close to him to give him a ride. So I said, “Okay boss, I’ll take you home!” recalls Nani.(1.80) MANCHESTER UNITED (3.80) ATALANTA (4.80)In a match against Fulham, Nani came from the bench and when United were awarded the penalty, he decided to step up and take the penalty instead of the regular penalty taker, Ryan Giggs. But, David Stockdale saved the penalty, and United only took a point, since the game ended 2-2.„I was playing unbelievable with a lot of confidence. I felt confident and Giggs didn’t say anything. I took the penalty and I missed! In the dressing-room he killed me. He said, “Nani, who do you think you are? Who gave you permission to take the penalty? And then he killed Ryan Giggs, because he said, “Ryan, why did you let him take the penalty?”. Ryan said, “he grabbed the ball and I let him”. We are going back home that day and I say, “boss, I can take you home”. I drove him back home and he didn’t talk to me in the car. I felt very uncomfortable “ revealed Nani.High-school quarrel on a higher level – Man Utd best mates Evra and Vidic refused to talk for three monthsStill, the Portuguese, who is playing for Orlando City in USA now, didn’t have any issues with sir Alex during his eight year stay in Manchester.“He’s a man who knows how to manage all characters, all different ages, all different personalities. My personality in that time, I was young, and not easy. I know that and I learned a lot, I changed a lot. That is life. You must learn” confessed Nani.
