Summary
Former Manchester United defender Henning Berg joined us at Old Trafford for this week's UTD Podcast.
The Norwegian told us how a move to Man Utd nearly materialised years before his eventual arrival, but fell apart due to a work permit issue.
We heard how his move to Blackburn happened instead, and Henning described what it was like working with Kenny Dalglish before being re-united with David May at Old Trafford, under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Henning also recalled his worst hairdryer from the boss, and looks back on "the perfect season" in 1999.
Sam and Maysie read out your e-mails at the end of the episode. If you'd like to write to the only official Manchester United Podcast then e-mail utdpodcast@manutd.co.uk
And if you'd like to listen through our back-catalogue, the best place to do that is over on the Manchester United App, where you can listen to and watch all of our episodes in full for free!
We'd also love it if you could leave us a rating and review wherever you listen to your podcasts.
