Sir Alex Ferguson’s Aberdeen Gothenburg triumph ranked ABOVE Man United glory by two Old Trafford greats

Former Manchester United players Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt stated that Sir Alex Ferguson's European achievements with Aberdeen may surpass his glory at Manchester United. Speaking on The Good, The Bad and the Football podcast, Scholes described Aberdeen's European Cup Winners' Cup win over Real Madrid and subsequent Super Cup win over Hamburg as outrageous, with Butt calling it a better achievement than his United tenure.

Gordon Strachan also joined the discussion, recounting Ferguson's strict management style at Aberdeen. Strachan revealed that Ferguson utilized youth-team players, including future goalkeeper Bryan Gunn, as babysitters to monitor senior players' off-pitch activities on weekends.
