"He's being booed even though he's won the Champions League, FA Cups and Premiership titles. But if it's good enough for him it's good enough for me.

"I think it's bonkers. I went to Old Trafford on Tuesday and the fans were chanting his name. Maybe they felt guilty. But this is Alex Ferguson we're talking about and he won't have lost any sleep over it.

"Sir Alex is a one-off and it's pointless anyone trying for be like him. His type of management is a dying breed. The whole game has changed, the personalities have changed.

"Whoever takes over from him faces the hardest job in the world. Sir Alex keeps getting written off but he keeps building good teams.

"The things that stand out with Sir Alex as a manager is what he's won and his desire to win it all again.

"He demands that same desire from his players. That's the one thing that separates him from everyone else.

"United were nowhere near where they are today when he took over the job. That's why I was amazed at the criticism he took from the fans. But he has such belief in himself and in the club, and that rubs off on all the players."
