Rio Ferdinand has revealed Sir Alex Ferguson would get ‘intel’ on his players[/caption] The manager would be fed information from people in Manchester[/caption]Ferdinand, 46, has suggested that the Scot would have a huge amount of people in Manchester feeding him information about the players.
He claimed that Ferguson, 83, would know “everything” that the players were up to when they were away from the pitch and training ground.
He told the BBC: “Everyone in the city wanted to talk to him.
“Everyone in the city is telling him what the players are drinking or what they are eating.
“When they are out and what they are doing. He knew everything.
“Managers don’t get that info nowadays, that intel.”
Ferdinand also revealed that people who worked for the players would also feed “intel” to Ferguson.
He compared the sources of knowledge to Ferguson to “mafia-type stuff” without the players knowing about it.

He continued: “You had nightclub managers who were ringing in, taking pictures and sending in the receipts of players’ bills.
“Like, who is getting that now? Who is running a city like that?
“If you had a party at your house he would know about it.
“Because your driver or security was telling him and they are working for you.
“But they are working for him as well, what is going on?
“It was almost like mafia-type stuff. It was just and you had to learn quickly because if you didn’t, you were gone.”
Ferguson enjoyed great success during his 27-year reign at Old Trafford.
He won 13 Premier League titles and the Champions League twice as well as nine domestic cups with the Red Devils.
Meanwhile, Ferdinand is now working as a pundit and often appears on broadcasters covering Man United.
During the Europa League win over Rangers, he tweeted during the match to slam a disallowed goal.

JESS AND SAMMY’S SPLIT
Just a couple of months after Jess and her then-boyfriend Sammy left the villa in 2023 as champions, they split.
The pair’s split came shortly after they won the £50,000 prize pot on the hit reality-dating show.
Jess told Sammy their relationship was over by phone – before news of their split leaked online while she was partying in Ibiza with pals.
Since their separation, Sammy has been linked to Love Island and Towie alum Elma Pazar, 31, who is currently taking part in the show, and season 11 star Samantha Kenny, 27.

ANGE POSTECOGLOU is set for a massive payout if Tottenham decide to sack him.
The Australian’s future is in huge doubt after Spurs lost for the sixth time in their last seven matches on Sunday.
The Londoners were beaten 2-1 at home by lowly Leicester, who themselves were on a seven-game losing streak.
Tottenham were booed off the pitch by their fans, who have now witnessed eight defeats in the previous 10 games.
And Postecoglou gave a sheepish wave as he left the pitch before trudging down the tunnel.
The Aussie’s boss Daniel Levy now has a huge decision to make.
On the one hand, Tottenham are potentially facing a relegation battle if their losing streak in the league continues.
On the other, Spurs are 1-0 up in their Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool and could land a first trophy since 2008.
Should Levy decide to sack Postecoglou though, it is sure to cost him a pretty penny.
Former Aston Villa CEO Keith Wyness told the Inside Track podcast that Big Ange is earning £5million-a-year on a four-year deal.

And with Postecoglou only being 18 months through it, Levy would have to shell out £12m to get rid of him right now.
The former Celtic boss now faces an anxious wait to see if he will take charge of the next match against IF Elfsborg.
When asked if he reckons he’ll still be in a job next month, Postecoglou said: “Who knows. I reckon there is probably a fair chunk that will say no.
“When you are the manager of a football club you can be very vulnerable and isolated. I don’t feel that.
“I feel like this group of players are giving everything for the club. I have a group of staff that is really committed. I focus on that.”
Big Ange added: “I have felt all along that the players are still very committed to what we’re doing.
“That’s important to me, because I firmly believe in it.
“This is as low as we’ve been so far this year but I still think that in these last three months we can do something really special and these players believe that.”
‘No plans’ to scrap controversial tax as 1.1m Irish confirmed to be EXEMPT from levy & Jack Chambers reveals 3 changes
THE new Government has no plans to get rid of the hated Universal Social Charge tax — as we’d have to stump up €5.7billion to replace it.
Minister for Public Expenditure Jack Chambers said the controversial USC, introduced in 2011 to save the banks and replace then-health and income levies, won’t be axed.
Deputy Chambers said: “The primary purpose of the USC was to widen the tax base and to provide a steady income to the Exchequer to provide funding for public services.
“The USC is an individualised tax, meaning a person’s liability to the tax is determined on the basis of a person’s own individual income and personal circumstances.”
He added: “The USC has played a vital role in meeting the many expenditure demands placed on the Exchequer.
“The USC yield was €5.7billion in 2024, and a projected yield of €5.7billion is expected in 2025.
“If USC were to be abolished it would be necessary to raise this amount from other sources.”
The minister said individuals with income of less than €13,000 per annum are currently exempt from the tax.
USC does also not apply to social welfare payments, such as the contributory and non-contributory State pensions.
This year alone, it is estimated that 1.1million taxpayer units — 33 per cent — will be exempt from paying USC.
Mr Chambers added: “Ireland has one of the most progressive personal income tax systems in the world, which plays a crucial role in the process of income redistribution.
“It is my view that a broad based progressive tax system, where the majority of income earners make some contribution but according to their means, is the most fair and sustainable income tax system in the long term.
“As such I have no plans to abolish the USC.”
He was responding to a parliamentary question from Fine Gael Dun Laoghaire TD Barry Ward, who asked if they were going to abolish USC and if there was a timeline for it.
Fine Gael had promised to make changes to the three per cent USC entry point in the recent General Election and increase it from over €27,000 to €40,000.
