The essential Ferguson documentary was another Granada production. In 1998's The Alex Ferguson Story, Ferguson granted an access all areas pass in the final months of the trophyless 1997-98 season when Arsenal secured the double. Televised on ITV, it is a more objective account; pub talk among supporters questions Ferguson's failure to sign Marcelo Salas after Teddy Sheringham scored one league goal in the second half of the season. In a separate interview, Ferguson accepts he did not strengthen the squad sufficiently.

There is bonhomie with Kidd at The Cliff and at home with wife, Cathy. Ferguson ribs her he sat near Claudia Schiffer during a recent dinner in Paris ("You'd be proud of me, I did well to keep her off me") and a nocturnal visit to 'God-forsaken' Tranmere to watch the youth team.

But the highlight is Ferguson's pre-match team talk for the Good Friday visit of Liverpool. "It's straight forward: As far as I'm concerned, you look after (Steve) McManaman," Ferguson explains to the United squad at The Cliff. "Close him down quickly, you don't need to detail a player. It's whoever's nearest. Close him down, play against him and don't allow him to dictate the areas you play."

A voiceover from Peter Schmeichel is then played: "We've heard it every time we've played Liverpool: 'McManaman's doing this.' We know that. He doesn't really have to tell us because we know."

It then switches back to Ferguson's team talk: "Go back three years ago how we lost the league, we lost the league at Anfield by not listening to the instructions about McManaman."

Ferguson was referring to a 2-0 March 1995 defeat at Anfield, where McManaman fashioned an own goal from Bruce but Ince was the player who specifically failed to 'listen to the instructions'. Ince was tasked with staying on the left to stymie McManaman yet his positioning was awry for Jamie Redknapp's opener and he allowed McManaman to drift past him for the second.
