Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson threatened to send him back to MLS during his time with Manchester United.
In his new autobiography, 'The Keeper', the current Everton No.1 recalls his debut in English football with the Red Devils.
Howard conceded a wonder free-kick from Arsenal icon Thierry Henry.
"At halftime, Ferguson just about took my head off" recalls Howard, in 'The Keeper'.
"'A three-man wall!' he shouted, the muscles around his jaw so tight I could see them flex. 'Against Henry! You needed four men on that wall. You've got to think' - he jabbed both index fingers at his forehead - 'when you play this game.'
"'If you cannae handle the f*****g stage' - his Scottish accent was coming through loud and clear - "I'll send you right back to the MLS.'
"His final words to me were soaked in derision. 'You're not in America anymore, son.'"
