Sir Alex Ferguson's two final comments as manager speak volumes about Man Utd retirementSir Alex Ferguson is hailed as the most successful manager to ever grace the Premier League, with a legacy at Manchester United that will likely never be beatenView 2 Images Sir Alex Ferguson laid down the law in his final interview (Image: youtube/@SkySportsRetro)Sir Alex Ferguson sealed his legendary status as Manchester United manager with one last Premier League victory in the 2012/13 campaign. ‌Following his announcement to leave the club in May 2013, Ferguson guided United to another Premier League crown and secured Champions League qualification. Such stark honesty would be unthinkable in today's Premier League, where managers typically shield their players by keeping transfer matters tightly under wraps. Yet it appears Ferguson's influence at Old Trafford endured long after his 2013 departure, as Rooney remained at Manchester United until 2017 - a full four years later. Sir Alex also made another startling allegation about the club "leaking" sensitive information.
