Van Persie: Sir Alex had one 'main thing'
The Dutchman played under the serial Scottish title-winner for just one season – which ended in an unprecedented 20th top-flight championship for the Reds – before working under subsequent United bosses David Moyes and Louis van Gaal.
And the striker explained that a noticeable difference between Ferguson and his successors was that Sir Alex chose to delegate many of the training and tactical responsibilities normally associated with the role, instead preferring to concentrate on controlling the atmosphere and culture within the dressing room.
