“I saw him [Ferguson] one time, it was Manchester United against Chelsea, I was coming out of the dressing room and as I was coming out of the door at the corner he was coming out and I just s*** myself”, Mikel said on The Debrief Podcast.

“I can’t remember what happened, I think I tripped up on the stairs, he looked at me and he just walked out.

“He started chewing his gum and just walked out. He did not say a word. It was a death stare. I met him a few times after that and we started talking about it and he forgot about it and forgave me.”
