Alex Ferguson joked that he had “outlived death” as the latest tribute to his remarkable career was unveiled at Old Trafford yesterday.

Ferguson’s wife Cathy unveiled a statue of the Manchester United manager in front of a host of football dignitaries and a host of former players, including Eric Cantona, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham and former Prime Minister Tony Blair were among those to pay tribute by video.
