Former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre has claimed he felt "miserable" when Sir Alex Ferguson gave him the hairdryer treatment during his time with the Red Devils. Ferguson was known to yell at players in the dressing room when things did not go according to plan, and many players feared the Scot's outbursts.
Silvestre spent nearly a decade at Manchester United after arriving from Inter Milan in 1999. He went on to join Arsenal in 2008 before finishing his career with Indian Super League side, Chennaiyin FC, in 2014.
During the launch of his new agency, Talent Lyfe, Silvestre spoke to Manchester Evening News about a host of topics, including Ferguson's infamous hairdryer treatment. The Frenchman said it felt terrible to be shouted at when there were so many people watching.
Wayne Rooney was also on the receiving end of the hairdryer treatment at Manchester United, and he shed light on it in his autobiography.
Several former Manchester United players have spoken about Sir Alex Ferguson's hairdryer treatment and how it inspired them to do better on the pitch.

Shut up dumb ass. Yelling at someone does not mean you are bullying the person. In every sports coaches yell at their players for better performance.

Mourinho does half of it and is crucified by all as a terrible person
because he does it in the media nd not in the dressing room there's a difference between saying what's on your chest to someone's face and rambling off to the media
