Tottenham striker Louis Saha has revealed that he once scored two goals for Manchester United before half-time but still got the Sir Alex Ferguson 'hairdryer' treatment.

During his spell at Old Trafford a few years back, Saha scored two of the three goals by the break as United were well on top of Everton and although the Frenchman was feeling good about himself, Ferguson made it clear that he was not happy.

"When I headed towards the changing room, I was feeling proud," Saha told The Sun ahead of the Spurs v United clash this Saturday.

"As soon as I sat down I was woken up in a violent way - Sir Alex Ferguson rendered me deaf.

"He was going mad and I quickly understood why. He was unhappy because we came in with only a three-goal lead when we should've wrapped the game up.

"He was furious about my missed chances and reminded me that this is the very top level. I woke up even more sharply when 45 minutes later Everton had come back to 3-3.

"Only a Ruud van Nistelrooy stoppage-time winner helped me escape the nightmare."
