Alex Ferguson is one of the biggest names when it comes to top coaches in football history. With an excellent career at Manchester United’s service, the English coach had the opportunity to train and develop some of the best players in the world.
At the service of the red devils Between 1986 and 2013, the most successful emblematic coach in the history of the English club coached players who could make several teams that any fan dreams of. From Cristiano Ronaldo to David Beckham, passing through Cantona, Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Giggs or Paul Scholes, there were several stars coached by Sir Alex Ferguson.
In an interview with the English newspaper The Sun, the former coach was asked to choose the player he would not abdicate in his team and the response was, to say the least, surprising. When the choice might seem difficult given the number of stars listed, or the affectionate connection he has with the Portuguese CR7, Alex Ferguson chose a defender who would not contemplate the first option of most lovers of the king sport.
“Honestly, the only certainty in my team would be Denis Irwin. In a game at Highbury Park, he had a bad pass in the last few minutes and Bergkamp appeared alone and scored. After the game, the media said I must have been disappointed in him right now. But I replied: ‘well, a mistake every 10 years is not a bad thing.’ He was an unbelievable player”, stressed Alex Ferguson.
