'I drove him back home and he didn't talk to me in the car... I felt very uncomfortable': Nani reveals frosty drive with Sir Alex Ferguson after being blasted for taking a penalty off Ryan Giggs and MISSING as Man United drew with Fulham in 2010

Nani has revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson once refused to speak to him on a car journey home after the Manchester United star missed a penalty.

Ferguson was neighbours with the Portugal winger in Wilmslow and Nani used to give his manager a lift back from Stockport station when United travelled to games in London by train.

But after he came off the bench in a 2-2 draw at Fulham in August 2010 and had a penalty saved by goalkeeper David Stockdale, Ferguson lambasted Nani in the dressing-room and then gave him the cold shoulder on the way home.
