Fergie still making rivals sweat

Alex Ferguson’s eagerly awaited account of his life as Manchester United manager will be released today — and is likely to send a number of big names scampering for cover.

Around the same time as David Moyes is due to speak to the media to look ahead to United’s Champions League encounter with Real Sociedad, Ferguson will be in central London, enlightening his audience about the most decorated career the game has ever known. Ferguson has been keen to keep the contents secret.

There have been no official leaks and no serialisation ahead of five sell-out Q+A evenings that start in Manchester next Monday and take in visits toLondon, his home city of Glasgow, Aberdeen, where he first made an impact, and Dublin.
