Mauricio Pochettino Praises Alex Ferguson Ahead of Spurs vs. Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has spoken of his "admiration" for former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson is regarded as one of the best coaches in history, having guided the Red Devils to 13 Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League title on two occasions.

In May, the 77-year-old required surgery on a brain haemorrhage and spent time in intensive care. He has since recovered, returning to Old Trafford to watch the Red Devils in September. Recently, current United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed the iconic coach had been at the team's training ground to speak to players.
