Sir Alex Ferguson Retires As Manchester United Manager.

After 26 and a half successful years as coach of Manchester United, the club have announced that Sir Alex Ferguson will retire at the end of the current season. He retires as their longest serving coach and also the current longest serving coach in English football.

The 71 year old Scotsman has won 38 trophies in all competitions in his time at Old Trafford and is the most successful manager in the English game and indeed on the world stage.

In his retirement, Fergie will remain a director and ambassador for the club. Speculation is rife about who is going to replace him with names like Mourinho and David Moyes being bandied around.

To Manchester United fans, I guess this is definitely sad news.

“Luiz elbowed Rafael twice and rolled about like a diving swan” – Ferguson blasts Chelsea defender

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, has taken a swipe at Chelsea defender David Luiz, after Rafael was sent off in the dying minutes of their 1-0 defeat to the Blues.

“He [Rafael] retaliates but he [David Luiz] quite clearly elbows him twice then rolls about like a diving swan and that convinces the referee. He was smiling, it’s bad. What kind of professional is that?” he asked.

The Scot however felt his team should have done better against Rafa Benitez men, although he conceded that Chelsea had more to play for.

“There is always an expectation that we should do better. We expected a better performance. After the goal we had no time to get back in it. After that the game was start-stop,” he said.

“It was difficult for players coming in. Chelsea had everything to play for. They [some of our players] haven’t played for quite a while. That being said, we should be doing better.”
