Former Manchester United and Arsenal Football clubs coaches, Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsène Wenger have been inducted into the Premier League’s official Hall of Fame for 2023. They are the first managers to receive this honour.
Alex Ferguson reacts to Wayne Rooney's latest feat.
Wayne Rooney’s brilliant long-range, freekick effort against Stoke City today, which got millions of people talking has impressed an Old Trafford icon and the most successful manager of the club, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Rooney who eclipsed Sir Bobby Charlton’s 249-goal record now holds the record as the highest goalscorer for United with 250 goals.
Heaping praises on the player who has scored his second goal in the season, Sir Alex Ferguson told manutd.com: “I would like to say huge congratulations to Wayne on reaching this milestone. “It is no mean feat to score so many goals and he breaks a record that has stood for over 40 years. Wayne thoroughly deserves his place in the history books of this great club and I am sure that he will go on to score many more goals.”
He added, “Well done Wayne, I am absolutely delighted for you, you have been a great servant to this club and long may it continue.”
Wenger reportedly refuses to let Mourinho sit beside him at a UEFA conference
This is many shades of funny.
Arsene Wenger reignited his beef with Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho today after he refused to let the latter sit beside him at a UEFA managers’ conference.
Mourinho arrived late at a speech being delivered by an Old Trafford great,
Sir Alex Ferguson. Spotting a seat opposite Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai
Emery and Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane and next to Wenger, the 53-year-old
asked if he could occupy the space. Without batting an eyelid, Wenger replied:
‘No, it isn’t possible.’ Wenger is regarded as having ‘won’ the exchange, with
other managers in the room laughing at his response to the Manchester United
boss.
Wenger needs to chill.
I almost signed for Manchester United – John Terry
Alex Ferguson would pick Ronaldo over Messi anytime. Here's Why!
wearing slippers when he controls the ball, but here, for me, is the
difference: Messi is a Barcelona player but Ronaldo could play for
Stockport County and score a hat trick.
as brave as a lion, and here’s something else people overlook. During my
time at Manchester United I was lucky enough to have a lot of people
who put in countless extra hours to get better.
wonderful one because of his work ethic, as did David Beckham, but
Ronaldo used to completely exhaust himself, and still does. He just
wanted to be the best in the world.”
Well, a lot of people share the same sentiment but i don’t think Messi will not perform in other clubs or leagues.

Roy Keane hits out at Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho in recent interview.
Aston Villa assistant Manager, Roy Keane is yet to settle scores with his former boss, Sir Alex Ferguson. And from the interview he granted reporters during the launch of his Autobiography (The Second Half), he’s still bitter, mad at him and possibly not interested in mending fences.
His grouse exactly. “He was never critical when we were winning trophies and he was getting his new contracts, getting this and that named after him – Sir this, and whatever else. He made millions of pounds out of it. He got his statues. He got his stand named after him. To criticise people who brought him success was just ridiculous.”
And on Jose Mourinho, he branded the Chelsea manager’s attempt at shaking his hands before the end of Chelsea/Aston Villa game few weeks back, disgraceful.
“The game is still going on, You wouldn’t do that on a Sunday morning, you would get knocked out. “I don’t mind all that [mind games] but the game is still going on. It’s disgraceful. I’ve seen him doing it to other managers; it is a disgrace.”
