Sir Alex Ferguson reduced Cristiano Ronaldo to tears at Man Utd - 'He doesn't care' Sir Alex Ferguson once made Cristiano Ronaldo cry in front of the rest of the Manchester United squad after one of his legendary hairdryer treatments - according to a new documentary about the club icon.
Ferguson’s time at United takes up the bulk of the documentary but there is also time to reflect on Jock Stein’s impact on him and how he stepped in as Scotland boss after the latter’s shock death in the dugout.
'Sir Alex' is released on BBC iPlayer on Boxing Day, and chronicles the successful life of the United boss, who picked up 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies at Old Trafford.
The documentary offers insight into the man behind the manager, reflecting on his childhood, family, playing days and influences, as well as touching upon controversies like the Glazers’ takeover and the row over racehorse Rock of Gibraltar.
Back then former right-back Stuart Kennedy remembers Ferguson’s hairdryer as a “blast furnace”, with Mark McGhee likening it to a “volcano” with the destructive power of Pompeii.
