  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Ferguson was asked by presenter Matt Chapman, who is a Spurs fan, if Ange Postecoglou's side would ever win the Premier League title. The former Manchester United manager, who infamously gave the half-time team-talk of "lads, it's Tottenham" during his time with the club, gave a withering response.

• WHAT FERGUSON SAID

  Asked if Spurs will ever win the Premier League, he simply replied: "No."

  He continued: "61 is the last time they won it. That's a long time. But the opposition today with Liverpool and Man City being so powerful in the Premier League…"

  The presenter jumped in and said: "Spurs are more likely to win it than United these days."

  And Ferguson replied: "No chance!"

  THE BIGGER PICTURE
