Ex-Manchester United star says Sir Alex Ferguson "didn't care" if players turned up drunk

Former Manchester United winger Nani has claimed that legendary Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson "didn't care" if players turned up to training drunk. The Portuguese international spent eight years at Old Trafford - six of which under Ferguson. "I never got in trouble," Nani told Tribuna Expresso via Goal . "Nights out at the right time, if I had the next day off, for example, then I could have some fun. Or on special days like Christmas or New Year - no one in England cares about that. "On New Year, we could even go to training drunk and the coach didn't care about it. That's the side of [Sir Alex] that knew how to deal with the players and have the perception to say 'this day is special, I can't make demands'. "We had been playing non-stop all year long. If one day Wes Brown gets drunk, what are we going to do? It was a joy, a moment of relaxation, a different kind of training - clowning around." Source- The Mirror
