Manchester United’s most successful manager did not hold back in his criticism of the Liverpool players who donned white suits at Wembley before the 1996 FA Cup final. Robbie Fowler, Jamie Redknapp, Steve McManaman and co famously wore the white outfits before taking on one of their biggest rivals in the capital. The choice attracted widespread criticism as supporters claimed they were symbolic of the player’s arrogance and a factor behind the team’s eventual 1-0 defeat. Sir Alex, who won 38 trophies in his time at Old Trafford, certainly agrees with that view and even claimed he knew his side would win the contest as soon as he saw the suits.
