When confronted with questions about the future of serial-slag-shagger and England striker Wayne Rooney, few observers and fans of the game were expecting to be greeted with such a contemplative, wistful, hurt and above all honest version of the usually fiery Alex Ferguson.
Rooney was seen by many as a leading light at Old Trafford, as Fergie looked to build a new squad of kids around him, so his possible departure from Old Trafford has come as a surprise to many.
Not least, Rio Ferdinand who had to cut short an afternoon of napping to digest Ferguson’s surprise revelations.
He was well and truly merked.
