Skysports has sent roving reporter Johnny McFadden to get the views of 2 passionate supporters of Manchester United on the retirement of their beloved manager.
63 years old Fan#1: Obviously imma very upset, but the club has handled Alex's retirement very well, he's still gonna have some power in the club, so i wouldn't say we have lost Ferguson completely. Imma hopin the new boss would be a brave and loyal man, that can take up this big challenge of succeeding Alex
15 years old Fan#2: Thank you Ferguson, he won us Premier League and Champions league! and groomed my favourite player! Ronaldo! But he's old, i hope a good manager will come, Jose Mourinho is a very good manager!"
Malcolm Glazer's email to fans
Sir Alex Ferguson has been an excellent manager, very well liked by the supporters of Manchester United. He will be staying with Manchester United as Director of Football and continue to help the club. The new manager is someone who is ready and groomed for this job. I hope fans of Manchester United will continue to believe in the club, this is not a step down for the club. I assure you that Manchester United will continue to challenge for major trophies and continue moving forward.
