Ferguson happy to offer Ince benefit of his experience

ALEX FERGUSON will be happy to offer Paul Ince managerial advice as long as he wants it.

Although it was assumed the pair no longer got on after Ferguson branded his former Manchester United midfielder a “big-time Charlie” during his Liverpool days, Ince has been on the phone regularly since taking over at Blackburn this summer.

But rather than spurn what is now a Premier League rival, Ferguson is willing to offer Ince the benefit of his 35 years in the management game.
