"Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has taken his fair share of flak about Juan Sebastian Veron since the Argentine playmaker's arrival at Old Trafford last year.
But Ferguson's patience, it appears, finally snapped when he was criticised by a shareholder at the club's annual meeting.
Several of Saturday's papers report that United fan Peter Briody told Ferguson he should have stuck with his decision to retire at the end of last season.
"This season you have come out with your racehorse Rock of Gibraltar's blinkers on," Briody is quoted as saying.
"You need to go back to your stable, have a clearout and start with the biggest carthorse of them all, Juan Sebastian Veron."
"How dare you," booms the headline in the Daily Mail, which reports that Ferguson responded by telling his critic: "You are an idiot."
