Sir Alex Ferguson... the neighbour! Nani opens up on living NEXT DOOR to the Man United boss - and driving him home after MISSING a penalty he stole off Ryan Giggs in a Fulham draw - and thinks Fergie might NOT give today's team the hairdryer treatment

The great and the good of Manchester United's golden years have shared many stories about what Sir Alex Ferguson was like behind the scenes - the man behind the mastermind that oversaw an unprecedented era of success at Old Trafford.

But remarkably, it is Nani who is perhaps uniquely placed to talk about the legendry coach - given that they were once neighbours while the Portuguese winger played for United from 2007 up to 2015.

The 35-year-old - now playing in Australia with Melbourne Victory - made the admission in an appearance on old United team-mate Rio Ferdinand's Vibe with Five YouTube channel.
