Such was the however, is not under Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. At least not after the christmas and new year, where otherwise there are plenty of matches in the Premier League.

– If I were free the next day so I could have fun and on special days like christmas and new year, there was no one in England cared about it.
On new year’s day, we could even take the full training, and the coach was indifferent to it. He (Alex Ferguson, eds.) knew how he should handle the players and be able to say, ‘this day is special. I can’t make demands’.
– We had played non-stop throughout the year. It was a joy, a moment where we could relax, another way to train the on – clowning around, says Nani to the Portuguese media Tribuna Expresso.
