Fergie eyes winning finale

Friday mornings at Carrington, Manchester United’s state-of-the-art training facility, will never be the same again, that is for sure.

Yesterday morning, Alex Ferguson held his final press conference at the multi-million euro training ground that would not be even in place had it not been for his incredible reign as manager of Manchester United.

His weekly musings have always been up and down affairs. There is always a sense of anxiety among even the most experienced and weathered journalists about which Ferguson will show up.
