Ferguson has been Man Utd manager for 25 years now and is still going strong.
“I have certainly mellowed,” he said. “There’s no question about that. It’s a more fragile human being that I am dealing with today than 25 years ago. They are cocooned by modern ideas, modern parents, modern agents, and they are cocooned by their own image at times.
“It’s a different world for me, so I have to change myself to adapt to that. I have changed because of these things.
“One thing I’ve learned in the last decade is delegation. In the early days, I was involved with scouting, coaching, youth everything. You can’t do that for a long period of time.”
