Manchester United Fans Loved What Sir Alex Ferguson Did To His Seat At The Etihad

Manchester United Fans Loved What Sir Alex Ferguson Did To His Seat At The Etihad

Well then...

When footage emerged of a fuming Sir Alex Ferguson, moments after Ilkay Gundogan made it 2-0 in the first half of the Manchester Derby, people immediately noticed something about the appearance of his chair.

Sitting next to former chief executive David Gill, cameras caught Fergie looking rather annoyed in the 33rd minute, but it wasn't his emotions that grabbed our attention.

Did you notice the glaring detail on his seat?

It seemed Ferguson had covered the embroidered Manchester City badge on his chair.

The fact that you could see the logo on Gill's chair may indicate that it was deliberate and Manchester United fans loved his thinking.



Sir Bobby Charlton and a number of other Manchester United associates, including Ed Woodward, also had the Manchester City badge covered.

Plenty had already written Manchester United off when they stumbled to the away dressing room at half-time.

But with the words of Jose Mourinho ringing in their ears as the second half commenced, things changed dramatically.

Paul Pogba scored two goals in two minutes and a tap in from Chris Smalling sealed a historic Derby day win.

After the game, Pogba himself ran straight over the fans and told them not to believe the papers. It was a celebration like no other.

What a game.
