Bruce: No one will ever top Ferguson

STEVE BRUCE has predicted Alex Ferguson’s all-conquering reign at Manchester United will never be bettered.

The Sunderland manager, who served as Ferguson’s captain at Old Trafford as he launched his dynasty, will head back to familiar territory tomorrow as the Black Cats provide the opposition for United, with the Scot celebrating 25 years at the helm.

Ferguson’s trophy-laden tenure has established his place among the greatest club managers in world football, and having witnessed his work at close hand, Bruce cannot see anyone improving on his achievements.
