Our legendary former manager visited rugby union side Sale Sharks at their neighbouring training ground, which is situated a mile or so up the road from our own complex.
Sir Alex was invited by head coach Alex Sanderson to address the squad ahead of Saturday’s huge Premiership final at Twickenham – the club’s first since 2006.
Our former boss reportedly attended his first rugby match at Sale six years ago, and he provided some words of inspiration, as you can see in the video below.
The clip, shared by our friends at Sale, shows Sir Alex joking about our 1996 FA Cup final victory against Liverpool and their infamous pre-match suits.
