Fergie: today’s players ‘fragile’

ALEX FERGUSON admits the toughest part of his job these days is dealing with today’s “fragile” footballers.

The Manchester United manager has handled some of the game’s hard men in his 23 years at Old Trafford, such as Bryan Robson, Steve Bruce, Paul Ince and Roy Keane.

He has had famous run-ins with Andrei Kanchelskis and Jaap Stam, which saw them run out of club and country in swift time.
