Gordon Strachan - The truth about Sir Alex's management

Our latest UTD Podcast episode took place at the house of former United winger Gordon Strachan.

The Scot welcomed regular hosts Helen Evans, Sam Homewood and David May to chat about his long and illustrious career, from the early days at Dundee to enjoying success at home and abroad, under Alex Ferguson at Aberdeen.

Gordon reveals how the move to Old Trafford came about and why Ron Atkinson’s managerial style differed vastly to Sir Alex’s. However, he was reunited with Ferguson in 1986, as the great man fulfilled one of his biggest dreams by taking over the Reds’ helm when Atkinson was sacked, one of only two clubs he would apparently ever quit Pittodrie for.

Strachan also identifies the best player he played with, lifts the lid on socialising with his team-mates and talks about his achievements after leaving the club for Leeds United, ultimately playing on with Coventry City until he turned 40.
