Alex Ferguson names the best manager in the Premier League

Are Manchester United going to pull another David Moyes by selecting a manager based on Alex Ferguson's recommendation?

There is much talk that United are looking at Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino as a summer replacement for Louis van Gaal. Spurs are currently second in the Premier League table and playing some of the best football in the league which has made the Argentine one of the most in-demand working managers. According to Ferguson, Pochettino is actually the best manager in the league. Tottenham MP David Lammy regaled the Spurs Show podcast of a story about a discussion with the legendary United manager during which he revealed his admiration for Pochettino. "I'm going to let you in to a secret," Lemmy said. "About six weeks ago, I sat next to Alex Ferguson at a dinner in support of grassroots football abroad.

"He said to me 'I think you guys have the best manager in the Premier League'... Alex Ferguson!

"So I think we've got the right guy. He's really trained them up well. They're young, they're up for it and we're going to do it."
