Louis Saha has revealed that he received the infamous 'hairdryer treatment' from Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson on his second appearance for the club, despite scoring two goals.

The Tottenham Hotspur frontman faces off against his former club in the Premier League on Sunday.

"When I headed towards the changing room, I was feeling proud. As soon as I sat down, I was woken up in a violent way — Sir Alex Ferguson rendered me deaf," Saha told The Sun.

"I was surprised but yes, it was me he was yelling and screaming at.

"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 have wrapped the game up."

Saha was recently recalled to the French national team for their friendly with Germany on Wednesday.
