The man won the 1999 Champions League Final, he knows full well what can happen at the last minutes.

[amolbhatia]

Came back and won the title the very next year. Legend.

The season after Sir Alex Ferguson won the League with Tom Cleverley in midfield

[leeashford]

‘Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’

‘Pardon’ ?

[rohanmondkar]

The man postponed his retirement to win the trophy back from the local rivals next year and go out on top 😂😂 What a bloody legend!!

[brianboru]

Fergie always sounds like he’s just spent 6 hours in a pub

[Disco-Terry]

Not that there's any doubt he's the greatest manager of all time but he then came back to walk the league with Jones, Welbeck, Anderson & Cleverly, what a legend!

[Ubiquitous]

Fair play to SAF, this was a dignified interview in very unfortunate circumstances. He wasn’t always known for his class, but he came across well here.

[abdidesign]

This is pure class from Sir Alex, giving credit where it’s due, what a professional. This is the mentality missing from United now, Sir Alex took the L respectively and came back to win it the next season.

I am a Bayern München fan but I Respect Sir Alex Ferguson. He has made Manchester United a name to be feared of. We need that Manchester United back today.

[sushilbansi]

He found it so difficult to congratulate Man City - but he did, a true champion!

[DebuJalananOfficial]

Sir Alex is a lot more nicer today than he was once as the boss. 😅

[AbuYusha]

Man that interviewer was lucky sir Alex wasn't in a bad mood... Holy crap with the idioms.
