i’ve never seen a similar player, he was an amazing player, when he destroyed Liverpool for Chelsea in an FA cup match, Liverpool coasting 2-0 and then Hughes was subbed on, final score 4-2 to Chelsea
As an Arsenal fan although I rated him as one of the worlds best managers I never really liked Ferguson, because of the rivalry but later on I realised just how great a manager and leader of people he was and my respect for him is huge. A one of his kind and the type of manager any fan would wish they had for their team.
I am a Celtic fan and felt that way when he was the Aberdeen manager. I was delighted to see him get the Manchester United job. Like yourself thought I recognise his greatness and I regard him as the greatest Scottish manager ever.
@@wonjubhoy yes I agree mate. The more I’ve read about his hard upbringing and earlier life I like him more and more. One of the true greats. As an Englishman I have a love for the Scottish people as well, a very proud nation and Fergusson epitomises this.
I really don't like how he talks about his ex-players negatively. Stick to football and keep private conversations private. e.g. He didn't need to shit on Ince like that. He was another a great player for Man U and all Fergie had to say was negative. He set the path for Keane and Scholes
Ferg ie kept playing a left footed player in Lee Sharpe on the right wing instead of Kanchelskis who was playing much better than sharpe. As great a manager he was i never understood that. Andrei spent most of his time in the bench.
@paulanthony5274 finally someone with same opinion he believed in Sharpe same as Alan Smith thought he could bring the playboy out them and others suffered for it.
One thing I noticed about all the United players was they all had personality and were characters in their own right! When it all came together, they were unstoppable. Ferguson although didn't always get it right, but he looked for a specific type of player. They have a great podcast out now that interviews former players and most of them had the same mentality. You can see why they were so successful.
one of my favourites when shelvey got sent off at Anfield against United and as he's storming off the pitch he points threateningly at Fergie, alleging his influence over refs got him sent off. Fergie just glanced at him and laughed. Brilliant way to add insult to injury without having to even say anything
Great comment. IMHO the only 2 we got in that category is Bruno and Cavani. The rest, to different degrees lack the work rate. Very sad these days. But thank god for this nostalgia.
I always feel Paul Ince is disrespected by United fans. While he was at United he gave 100%, was a natural two footed player who had drive, commitment and ambition. We could really use a young Paul Ince about now.
He went to Liverpool after Inter and celebrated in it. What more do you need. His full outs with the club and board at united after leaving shouldn't affect his devotion of the fans and trophys he won at the club. He threw it all away for nothing! The fans still remembered him with affection untill he joined Liverpool and celebrated his goal greatly. He's a traitor. Not for leaving and only partly for signing for Liverpool, but mod for hus bitterness towards the club which is owned by the fans. No fans no club, wd all remember Ince anx hus wild celebrations for Liverpool the clown. He'll never be forgiven. The performances with him Cantona and Giggs playing so well together will be but not the other things, which are a strange mix. I always felt it was odd Michael Owen playing for United but this is different. No doubt it's different. It was intentional bitter by Ince.
Mark Hughes was probably that one player I remember as a kid who was just fearless and proud on a football pitch. Keane and co. were "hard men" but they were always doing so from a sort of veiled inadequacy and they over-compensated accordingly. Hughes was just "strong" and you really got the impression he had total self belief. Legend indeed.
Really intelligent comment.. Which perhaps went over the head of the other guy.. Totally agree.. A silent hard man who only showed it when needed.. Hughes was nobodies fool.. A guy for the trenches.
@@bighands69 Nobody is disputing Keane is the better player.. Its just a nod to a man Like Mark Hughes who was a hard man without ever feeling the need to be a hard man for an image...Hughes was the Second world war veteran who never talked about what went on..
Practically all the football critics thought but was game over for Utd and Fergie during the summer of 1995. Ince, Hughes and Kanchelskis were sold, Cantona was banned and didn’t look like he’d be coming back, and their first game of the new season, unknown youngsters Scholes, Beckham, Butt and the Neville brothers looked out of their depth. Well, the exact opposite happened and poor Kevin Keegan was psychologically destroyed despite him being a total innocent towards the criticism against Utd.

@@56postoffice He thought that Stam had lost his pace after an injury. He said that he was hasty in selling him as Stam then went on to have a great career in Seria A.
Stam was one of AFs few mistakes and they were few. Kanchelskis didn’t want to play,Ince had ideas above his station but Hughes was sadly hit by Father Time . It would have been perfect for him to finish at United-broke my heart to see him in a Chelsea shirt. Still and will always be a United legend though.
I'm always fascinated by how people spin these sales as if Ferguson wanted a clear out. But in reality he only wanted Ince gone. He offered Hughes a contract which was refused and Kanchelskies was forced out by his agent. I think if Ferguson knew all three would be going he'd have tried harder to keep Hughes, and might thought twice about selling Ince
Agreed. Lingard would of been out the door years ago too. People don’t realise that you need the right mix of personalities to create a winning team, and that’s true in all successful companies. Talent is one thing, but a player with disruptive attitude coupled with a bad agent needs to be sold as soon as possible.
@@andyc6542 Not sure about Lingard. He was led down a wrong path. Fergie would never have let that happen. Fergie always had a few Lingard types in his squad.
Fair and valid point. Although I feel Lingard is far too immature to make it at the very top; felt if he put his head down and worked harder, he'd of had a far better career..
@@andyc6542 Yep. I think he was too pally with a few of the Arsenal idiots like Wilshere and Chamberlain et al a few years back. The selfie brigade I like to call them.

that was my favourite with Keane, Pallister, Bruce, Irwin, Parker, Schmeichel and Hughes. They played the best, shame non English players couldn't play like now
Remember being very shocked at the time but Fergie knew how good the kids were. True fact. Fergie wanted Keith Gillespie back from Newcastle when Kanchelskis left.
Built 3 or maybe even 4 great teams whilst there and whilst other sides came and went United stayed the course as a top 2 side in the premier league under his management
@@mikerea7445 shocked by what sir Alex had to say about the intimidation etc during discussions....it sounds logical with what was going on in Russia at the time
The rumours at the time for Kanchelskis' leaving was between racism from him towards Paul Ince from one extreme (obviously 2+2=11BS) and gangsteresque rumblings to the other, that he needed the signing-on fee to pay off debts...which were compounded when he quickly left Everton (2yrs) for Fiorentina, again for a 'much needed', signing-on fee...and then onto Rangers in the following season... Good to actually get some elements of 'truth' in that respect. I haven't read AK's autobiography, so it may detail it there, but SAF couldn't go on record with something like that without the fear of a lawsuit, so I am guessing it's fairly close to the mark.
I've had the pleasure of speaking to SAF many a time over the years, and some of the stories about Kanchelskis and his "agents" were the craziest. Threats against SAF, Martin Edwards, and even towards Kanchelskis' family if a new contract wasn't given to him or he wasn't let go. Mental.
Any hint that you're a big time Charlie and you're GONE. You're out faster than you're than your fast new flashy car can hit 60mph! Fergie ain't having people who are too big for their boots, simple as that lol
Paul “Big time Charlie” Ince. The self styled “Governor”. How the fans rubbed it in at OT when he came back as Blackburn manager and got well and truly “tutored” by United.😊
When did the first championship team leave? Robson 94 Ince, Hughes, Kanchelskis 95, Bruce, Sharpe, Parker 96, Cantona 97, Pallister, McClaire 98, Schmeichel 99, Irwin 2002, and Giggs 2014 Just the main players, I didnt include Ferguson or Dublin or Walsh or players who played less. Notice for first team regulars never more than 3 at a time. Interesting controlled squad turnover.
1990's = Kanchelskis, Olsen, Sharpe & Giggs operating on the wings. Now we have the speedy Welsh wizard...Dan James! What the hell has happened to Man Utd?
Kanchelskis’ agent Grigori Yesaulenko had previously tried to give Ferguson £40,000 as a “gift”. Then there was a meeting with Ferguson, Yesaulenko and Martin Edwards in which Fergie returned the cash pointing out that it was against FA rules. In this same meeting Yesaulenko demanded that Kanchelskis was sold to Everton. When Edwards refused, Yesaulenko allegedly told him: “If you don’t sell him now, you will not be around much longer!!”. After that United felt they had no choice but to sell him.
I wouldn't have liked to have been on the "wrong side" of the Govanian Fergie.....flaysome character,but knew how and when to sort-out the ego-trippers.
I feel that the self proclaimed 'Govenor' nickname of Paul Ince showed an enormous lack of self awareness. And basically painted him as a knobhead to a lot of people. Not just Fergie.
Exactly, the fact that he apparently gave that nicname to himself rather than others pinning it to him is a poor show from Ince. The fact that he wasnt the guvnor at all, especially with England, he would turn his back during penalty shootouts, in euro96 he should have stood up to take the 6th penalty as he was a great striker of the ball but coward away, leaving it to central defender Southgate who to be fair to him stood up when the country called for someone. Ince is no legend nor was he the guvnor.
Fergie was a great manager no doubt but he can't blame Kanchelskis for leaving. He was tired of being left on the bench and coming on later in the second half. I think it was him who was let down. Sharpe was a good player. But putting him on the right after Giggs took over his role on the left was wrong for me when Kanchelskis was available.
@@Art-is-craft It was a very difficult time for sir Alex to adjust for european football at the time (affiliated and such like affecting selection) . I can see why he had some difficulties. And iagree with what you say as Giggs was one of the 4 great players that sir Alex said that he worked with at old trafford. The others being :- Cantona, Scholes and Ronaldo. But my point is more so about the earlier days of Kanchelskis and being left on the bench in place of Sharpe, who was off form since that golden first season 90-91 and a return to form ag thd end of the 92-93 season after meningitis, but after that his form dipped and I just think Kanchelskis should have got selected more. He'd often say "popping Andrei on the bench" to let him know how important he was to the side. When teams sat back nullifying wing attacks that's understood too, his time in Italy didn't work out at fiorentina after playing in England so i can undersrand him going to Rangers. And he wasn't a dribbler of the ball like Giggs and Sharpe at old Trafford, (relying more on pace and knocking it past defenders). But in open fast paced games with teams attacking more I felt Kanchelskis should have been used more often. He regretted leaving for Everton and thought he should have held on. And maybe he should. His pace was sublime. Would have been good to hear your opinion rather than just he was good but not amazing. There's lot more to it than that, a hell of a lot!
Keane was already there to replace Ince, who was a big head. Ferguson knew that Hughes was knocking on and Kanchelskis obviously wanted to bugger off. They won the treble with the replacements.
Just an absolute boss.
Won’t see the likes of him again.
Yea maybe in FIFA career mode
And now his watch has ended
He was last of the old school.
Let's not forget his greed over that race horse ushered in the Glazer family.

I gave him some stick. Ultimately, I do respect what he did.
(Even if it was in Fergy time lmao.)😂
I remember thinking that Fergie had lost the plot when he sold all these 3 at the same time!! Lol how wrong I was!!
But he did say he regretted letting Jaap Stam go.
@@56postoffice He thought that Stam had lost his pace after an injury. He said that he was hasty in selling him as Stam then went on to have a great career in Seria A.
@@Saintinthecity-wh9nl
I think it has nothing to do with pace and was to do with the dressing room getting unsettled.
Stam was one of AFs few mistakes and they were few.
Kanchelskis didn’t want to play,Ince had ideas above his station but Hughes was sadly hit by Father Time .
It would have been perfect for him to finish at United-broke my heart to see him in a Chelsea shirt.
Still and will always be a United legend though.
@@SandyYoung1 Then a Man City Manager.......absolutely ruined his Man Utd Legacy there!!
I'm always fascinated by how people spin these sales as if Ferguson wanted a clear out. But in reality he only wanted Ince gone. He offered Hughes a contract which was refused and Kanchelskies was forced out by his agent. I think if Ferguson knew all three would be going he'd have tried harder to keep Hughes, and might thought twice about selling Ince
Loved Mark hughs when he came through, I first saw a new winning mentality at utd.
I'd heard there were rumours Kanchelskis was closely advised by businessmen with an interest in the olive oil business.
Mark Hughes was a good player.
One of the very best, particularly with his back to goal.
“Real Godfather stuff” lol
Now we have Mafia aka Pogba and Riola
Fergie woke up ,with van nistelrooy head beside him
Ne was just highlighting the greed of an agent, give us X amount of money or we leave on a free transfer.
@@staffh3815 😂😂
@@staffh3815 Hilarious
This is why Pogba is still at United, no strong characters to tell his agent where to go.
And he wouldn’t be at United if fergie was still there
Agreed. Lingard would of been out the door years ago too. People don’t realise that you need the right mix of personalities to create a winning team, and that’s true in all successful companies.
Talent is one thing, but a player with disruptive attitude coupled with a bad agent needs to be sold as soon as possible.
@@andyc6542 Not sure about Lingard. He was led down a wrong path. Fergie would never have let that happen. Fergie always had a few Lingard types in his squad.
Fair and valid point. Although I feel Lingard is far too immature to make it at the very top; felt if he put his head down and worked harder, he'd of had a far better career..
@@andyc6542 Yep. I think he was too pally with a few of the Arsenal idiots like Wilshere and Chamberlain et al a few years back. The selfie brigade I like to call them.
All three were amazing.
What Kanchelskis could've become. But then there would probably have been no Beckham.
Great shout , spot on 👍👌
Dumb comment. Becks would've broke through regardless. Too talented not to.
mark hughes was a good player a good player he was a bloody warrior as alex said legend legend legend sparky hope you see this hughesie hughesie man utd supporters dont forget sparky younger people look at his goals and clubs he played near his finish the man had some heart a bye god had he some volley mark you will never be forgotten.
That utd team was my favourite, giggs , kanchelskis, Cantona, ince,, no chams LG, but the played some football, 4-4-2, simple but exciting,
that was my favourite with Keane, Pallister, Bruce, Irwin, Parker, Schmeichel and Hughes.
They played the best, shame non English players couldn't play like now
Keep these videos coming , really good content 👏🏼👏🏼
Remember being very shocked at the time but Fergie knew how good the kids were. True fact. Fergie wanted Keith Gillespie back from Newcastle when Kanchelskis left.
Tells you everything you need to know about Eastern Europe
this is were i come to watch utd
Ince would dominate any midfield in the prem now
Guy is the best manager to ever live and no im not a man united fan
Guy who???? Never heard of him 😂😂
Noway has to be big Sam
You can’t argue it. 🐐
Built 3 or maybe even 4 great teams whilst there and whilst other sides came and went United stayed the course as a top 2 side in the premier league under his management
Ferguson acting like an absolute don here
Never realised kanchelskis left under such a shadow ....I loved him as a kid, so fast .....sad end to his career at united
I was a big fan too
Had heard before that he was “owned” by russian mafia. Didn’t believe that until now 😂
Wasted his career by going to Everton
@@mikerea7445 shocked by what sir Alex had to say about the intimidation etc during discussions....it sounds logical with what was going on in Russia at the time
@@CMEAGAIN doesn't sound like he had much choice
Kanchelskis was my fave player
Hughes when he went to Chelsea was one of there best players in that period
right moves by Ferguson at the right time as usual
Imagine witnessing a one-on-one discussion between Sir Alex Ferguson and Bill Belichick!
Can’t believe a word out of his mouth.
A great great manager a no nonsense person
The rumours at the time for Kanchelskis' leaving was between racism from him towards Paul Ince from one extreme (obviously 2+2=11BS) and gangsteresque rumblings to the other, that he needed the signing-on fee to pay off debts...which were compounded when he quickly left Everton (2yrs) for Fiorentina, again for a 'much needed', signing-on fee...and then onto Rangers in the following season...
Good to actually get some elements of 'truth' in that respect. I haven't read AK's autobiography, so it may detail it there, but SAF couldn't go on record with something like that without the fear of a lawsuit, so I am guessing it's fairly close to the mark.
I've had the pleasure of speaking to SAF many a time over the years, and some of the stories about Kanchelskis and his "agents" were the craziest. Threats against SAF, Martin Edwards, and even towards Kanchelskis' family if a new contract wasn't given to him or he wasn't let go. Mental.
@@CelticBraveheart67 thx, nice.
Any hint that you're a big time Charlie and you're GONE. You're out faster than you're than your fast new flashy car can hit 60mph! Fergie ain't having people who are too big for their boots, simple as that lol
3 massive players who had 3-4 years left in them
You won't win anything with kids...
Who said this again
@@ommistry3988 Alan Hansen on Match of The Day when they'd been beat off Villa 3-1 first game of the season 👍
Paul “Big time Charlie” Ince. The self styled “Governor”. How the fans rubbed it in at OT when he came back as Blackburn manager and got well and truly “tutored” by United.😊
Ince ended up playing for Liverpool- what a complete bellend
Brave decisions
When did the first championship team leave?
Robson 94
Ince, Hughes, Kanchelskis 95,
Bruce, Sharpe, Parker 96,
Cantona 97,
Pallister, McClaire 98,
Schmeichel 99,
Irwin 2002,
and Giggs 2014
Just the main players, I didnt include Ferguson or Dublin or Walsh or players who played less.
Notice for first team regulars never more than 3 at a time. Interesting controlled squad turnover.
Gary Walsh was gone long before that.
@Art-is-craft Gary Walsh was sold to Middlesbrough in August 1995.
Kanchelskis under contract at Man Utd? Yes well so was Wayne Rooney at Everton when Fergie helped force him out of our club. What goes around etc.
fkg shock Andrei really wanted to leave us for Everton that was shocking
Hughes scissor ✂️ KICK OMG
The goal against Oldham at Wembley in the FA Cup semi final which earned a replay and which we won comfortably is the one that stands out for me!
Last minute of extra time?
You're so right! Haha I knew it was right at the end but got my normal time and extra time mixed up! Thank you!
Proper. Everything done proper.
not the sale of stam and going out of the cl groups stages 5 times frim 2000 to 2013
13 titles in 21years
1.42 does SAF say he does not like Ince or his self pro clained title Guvnor
Where is this clip from? Is there a full video for it?
1990's = Kanchelskis, Olsen, Sharpe & Giggs operating on the wings. Now we have the speedy Welsh wizard...Dan James! What the hell has happened to Man Utd?
Theres alot worse than dan james playing for you!
Highly doubt Olsen considering he left in 1988
You won't see the likes of him Never ever again
If united payed their players properly things would have been different
Real godfather stuff 😎 wow
If that was now everyone want sir Alex out all over Twitter
Hail the king
Hughes broke his leg scoring that goal.
Don't remember that happening. Knee injury at the most.
@@ClassicManUtdVideos I think it was Quad injury.
Roy Keane was fergies General on the pitch.
Can summarize what's the story around Kanchelskis? SAF's accent is just too thick
Kanchelskis’ agent Grigori Yesaulenko had previously tried to give Ferguson £40,000 as a “gift”.
Then there was a meeting with Ferguson, Yesaulenko and Martin Edwards in which Fergie returned the cash pointing out that it was against FA rules. In this same meeting Yesaulenko demanded that Kanchelskis was sold to Everton. When Edwards refused, Yesaulenko allegedly told him: “If you don’t sell him now, you will not be around much longer!!”.
After that United felt they had no choice but to sell him.
Well it paid off the rest is history
Andre had to leave the club....his request for a goalkeeper position was denied...
I wouldn't have liked to have been on the "wrong side" of the Govanian Fergie.....flaysome character,but knew how and when to sort-out the ego-trippers.
I do not think he was aggressive as people make out. He would blow his top every now and then and did not put up with nonsense.
Hughes was and still is my favorite United player. Scored some ridiculous goals down the years. He can f**k off for being a Chelsea fan though 😉
90s Russian Agent = Russian Mob
Mines a DOUBLE Alan 🏆 🏆
I feel that the self proclaimed 'Govenor' nickname of Paul Ince showed an enormous lack of self awareness. And basically painted him as a knobhead to a lot of people. Not just Fergie.
Exactly, the fact that he apparently gave that nicname to himself rather than others pinning it to him is a poor show from Ince. The fact that he wasnt the guvnor at all, especially with England, he would turn his back during penalty shootouts, in euro96 he should have stood up to take the 6th penalty as he was a great striker of the ball but coward away, leaving it to central defender Southgate who to be fair to him stood up when the country called for someone. Ince is no legend nor was he the guvnor.
Fergie was a great manager no doubt but he can't blame Kanchelskis for leaving. He was tired of being left on the bench and coming on later in the second half. I think it was him who was let down. Sharpe was a good player. But putting him on the right after Giggs took over his role on the left was wrong for me when Kanchelskis was available.
Kanchelskis was good but not amazing.
@@Art-is-craft It was a very difficult time for sir Alex to adjust for european football at the time (affiliated and such like affecting selection) . I can see why he had some difficulties. And iagree with what you say as Giggs was one of the 4 great players that sir Alex said that he worked with at old trafford. The others being :- Cantona, Scholes and Ronaldo. But my point is more so about the earlier days of Kanchelskis and being left on the bench in place of Sharpe, who was off form since that golden first season 90-91 and a return to form ag thd end of the 92-93 season after meningitis, but after that his form dipped and I just think Kanchelskis should have got selected more. He'd often say "popping Andrei on the bench" to let him know how important he was to the side. When teams sat back nullifying wing attacks that's understood too, his time in Italy didn't work out at fiorentina after playing in England so i can undersrand him going to Rangers. And he wasn't a dribbler of the ball like Giggs and Sharpe at old Trafford, (relying more on pace and knocking it past defenders). But in open fast paced games with teams attacking more I felt Kanchelskis should have been used more often. He regretted leaving for Everton and thought he should have held on. And maybe he should. His pace was sublime.
Would have been good to hear your opinion rather than just he was good but not amazing. There's lot more to it than that, a hell of a lot!
Ince won fuck all after leaving us too. Well apart from the late equaliser trophy in 99.
Threatening Fergie.... aye nae bother Kanchelskis
Replaced by Cole, Scholes, and Beckham
Don't forget Roy Keane
@@jay-lm4we But Keane arrived in '93
Kancheskis was like the Carlos Teves affair
id take Paul Ince in CM for us now
As i remember they sold ince after not complying to instructions in the cup final v Everton
What’s the other side of the conversation.
You'll never win anything with kids
I still really love Hughes and Kanchelskis. Still legends to me. Ince, Anfield, will never forget that. Proper traitor.
Keane was already there to replace Ince, who was a big head.
Ferguson knew that Hughes was knocking on and Kanchelskis obviously wanted to bugger off.
They won the treble with the replacements.
"i didn't paricularly like him" OR " i didn't particularly like it" on 1.43?
I didn't hear properly myself sounds like him but hope he said it
Why did he let Mark Hughes go.....did he say why?
Think maybe his age and he might of brought in Cole from Newcastle as a replacement
Think at the time hughes wanted and had earned a move to barcelona
I never forgave Kanchelskis.
Only one boss in that camp
