In his column for the Independent, Cole wrote: “I’ve been in the Manchester United dressing room after surprising defeats and it’s not pretty. I can only imagine it was similarly loud and uncomfortable – and possibly even terrifying – for the players who had to face the wrath of Sir Alex Ferguson after Sunday’s shock 1-0 FA Cup loss to Leeds United at Old Trafford.
“Sir Alex is the greatest manager of all time, and you don’t achieve what he’s achieved by being a shrinking violet. No doubt you will have heard about ‘the hairdryer’, the shouting, his ferocity when he feels let down. It’s all true.
“The manner of the defeat is the key thing, though. If you lose and Sir Alex believes you gave your best, it’s not a problem. But if you lose in the kind of inexplicably limp way that United lost to Leeds – Sir Alex called it “shocking” – then mind your ears! There are no degrees of anger, no scale: when he loses his temper, he loses his temper, force 10. He will make it abundantly clear that is not what he expects at United, and then move on. The next game is always the most important.”

MANCHESTER UNITED is the best team ever with the best defenders NEMANJA VIDIC and PATRICE EVRA.
KRASIC bites the WOLVES. 
I hope that MANCHESTER UNITED go to MILOS KRASIC
