Australian goalkeeper Mark Bosnich on Wednesday said that he wants to meet with Alex Ferguson to challenge the former Manchester United manager over his second spell at Old Trafford.
.
Bosnich, on United's books as a young player, was Ferguson's choice to replace Peter Schmeichel in 1999, but things did not work out as planned.
.
In "My Autobiography", launched in London on Tuesday, Ferguson labelled Bosnich "a terrible professional" and went even further in his press conference.
.
"Mark got off to a really bad start," said the Scot, who retired at the end of last season after 26-and-a-half years in charge that saw United win 13 English titles.
.
"He turned up three hours late for his first day's training and he was overweight."
.
Bosnich, now working as a television pundit in Australia, took exception to the comments.
.
And amid speculation that Ferguson, a horse racing enthusiast, will travel to Australia next month to watch the Melbourne Cup, former Aston Villa 'keeper Bosnich was keen to to outline his version of events.
