Sir Alex Ferguson reveals his one major Manchester United regret

Ex-boss of Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed the biggest regret of his time in charge of the club. Ferguson managed United for almost 27 years. The Scottish specialist signed Eric Djemba-Djemba and Bebe and it’s fair to say there are probably a few things the legend would have done differently. His biggest regret, however, involves agonizing over a selection decision for the 2018 Champions League final. And in an interview with MUTV, Ferguson revealed one of the hardest decisions he had to make in his time in football. "To win the European Cup is fantastic. It was a really great bunch of players with a great attitude about them and a good, strong squad," said the legendary boss. "My problem in 2008 final, maybe I even regret it to this day, as I left Ji-sung Park out completely in the final. "He'd played such a great role and that's the problem when you get to these finals. At Wembley [in 2011] I did it to Dimitar Berbatov and he took it badly. He didn't deserve it. No player deserves to be left out of the final. That's why we try hard at these European seminars with the coaches to try to get 11 subs in the final. You've got four or five sitting in the stand who made fantastic contributions in getting there."
