Press officer had to break up scuffle between reporter and Sir Alex Ferguson during Cristiano Ronaldo interview

 

The daughter of former Manchester United striker Denis Law had to stop a furious Sir Alex Ferguson after he "physically jumped" towards reporter Geoff Shreeves during an interview with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Shreeves, who left Sky Sports at the end of last season after 32 successful years with the broadcaster, has spoken to some of the Premier League's biggest characters during his established career.

And in a recent interview, the 59-year-old reminisced about a number of former top flight managers, including Jose Mourinho, who he never fell out with, despite a number of close shaves.

Shreeves also opened up about an exchange with Arsene Wenger after Arsenal suffered a humiliating 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford in 2011.

"He didn’t take it too well when I asked him if he thought he might be relieved of his duties after they just lost 8-2 at Old Trafford," he told BettingSites. "That didn’t go so well."
