Sir Alex Ferguson<\/a> insists that he is not afraid to dispose of his senior players, if the circumstances should make it necessary for him to do so.<\/p>\nThe Red Devils boss has in the past made hard choices for the greater good of the club, and has managed to realise his dream of knocking Liverpool off their perch by surpassing them in terms of the number of league titles won.<\/p>\n
The Old Trafford outfit have now won 19 league titles, with 12 of them coming under Sir Alex’s reign.<\/p>\n
“You cant get sentimental in this job,” said the Scot, according to The Mirror<\/em>.<\/p>\n“I love the players I\u2019ve had. I\u2019ve been very, very fortunate to have had great players. And I\u2019ve been very fortunate to have had players come through with me for a long, long time.<\/p>\n
“At United, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes. Even Phil Neville and Nicky Butt, guys who were the spirit of the club. They have remained part of what I see is Manchester United.<\/p>\n
“And all the players I\u2019ve had here have played a part in that.<\/p>\n
“But when I see something happening I have to act. In the case of Nicky Butt and Phil Neville I had to release them because I was getting to the stage where I was terrified of talking to them. Telling them they were not playing a game.<\/p>\n
“And it wasn\u2019t fair to them. They were good players. Players that played a big part in the resurrection of Manchester United, no doubt about that.<\/p>\n
“So when the time came for me to let them go, I knew it was cutting strings. Loyal strings. And I didn\u2019t enjoy it.<\/p>\n
“But my job is to manage Manchester United. My job is to produce results. I\u2019m not any different from anybody else. I need results here. I\u2019ll not be regarded here \u2013 and the club will not be regarded \u2013 in the same way if I was unsuccessful.”<\/p>\n
