Sir Alex told Wayne Rooney “get out of my office” after showdown talks about Man Utd

Jamie Carragher believes Manchester United should take inspiration from Sir Alex Ferguson's ruthless decisions of the past and cut ties with Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.The former Liverpool defender has been critical of the Portuguese superstar following his sensational Red Devils return last summer, previously labelling the striker a "passenger".Despite netting 15 goals this season, Ronaldo has often drawn criticism over his inability to press and has been accused of refusing to sacrifice personal glory for the greater good of his team.The 37-year-old has reportedly grown disillusioned with the club in recent months and, amid speculation that his second Old Trafford stint could come to a swift end this summer, Carragher believes United would be better off without him.The Sky Sports pundit feels United should look to the past and the ruthless decisions of legendary former manager Ferguson as inspiration for how to solve the problems Ronaldo creates."No single player can ever be bigger than the club," Carragher wrote in his column for the Telegraph."And no-one knew that better than Sir Alex Ferguson who, in 2006, sold one of the Premier League most prolific goalscorers, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, because he felt the striker’s personal hunger for goals was inhibiting the progress of younger, emerging team-mates.Should Manchester United let Cristiano Ronaldo go in the summer? Have your say in the comment section"Who reaped the rewards? Ronaldo, who thrived after Van Nistelrooy’s exit."Just like Van Nistelrooy 16 years ago, Ronaldo’s goal sprees have the capacity to make anyone deemed critical look foolish."It does not alter the fact that the next United manager will face the same issues as Rangnick in trying to keep him

Manchester United, but he also had a few flops during his time.Although Ferguson had some of the greats in goal over his spell at United, for some reason every goalkeeper was prone to an iconic howler at Old Trafford, with Roy Carroll, Fabien Barthez and David De Gea amongst some of the shot-stoppers to embarrass themselves.One of the most famous incidents of all though, was when Massimo Taibi allowed Matt Le Tissier's shot to squeeze through his legs while his face planted into the ground, but by the time he picked himself up, the ball was in the net.Despite flopping at United, the goalkeeper who has just turned 52, claimed that it was his decision to leave United, and that Ferguson begged him to stay.Taibi joined United in 1999 for £4.5million after Peter Schmeichel left Old Trafford, but the Italian soon returned to his homeland the following year after making just four appearances for the first team.The goalkeeper revealed that it was a family issue causing him major issues, and that he had to return to Italy, but admitted that Ferguson was desperate to see him stay at the club. Unfortunately for Talibi, one of those four games included the howler against Southampton, but the Italian opened up about his time at United."Of course, it was 100% my decision to leave Manchester United.
