Sir Alex Ferguson demonstrated his genius beyond the field, and his name is inseparable from "Manchester United." However, in 2006, the specialist did not see any exceptionalism in the future star's game.
Sir A. Ferguson's friend Alastair Campbell revealed that they went to Marseille to watch the country's defender Franck Ribery. In 2006, the Frenchman, who defended the honor of the "Marseille" team, was of interest to more than one top club.
As A. Campbell recounted, they went in the summer of 2006 to watch F. Ribery in UEFA Cup matches, but Sir A. Ferguson said after 45 minutes that he is too mediocre for the "Man Utd" team.
That season, F. Ribery became the player of the year in "Ligue 1." And in 2007, for 25 million euros, the guard moved to the Munich "Bayern" team where he still plays to this day.
