‘FERGIE’S AN INSPIRATION,’ RODGERS

BRENDAN RODGERS has added words of support for legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

The iconic team boss is in intensive care after having emergency surgery following a brain haemorrhage yesterday morning.

Rodgers wished the 76-year-old Glaswegian a speedy recovery, describing the ex-Old Trafford and Aberdeen gaffer as an inspiration.

He said: “It was a big shock to us all when we found that out as he’s a man in great health.

“He’s a real colossal manager and an inspiration to all of us younger managers, with his achievements and how he’s conducted himself.

“We hope and pray he makes a really good recovery and gets back doing what he’s done all his life and inspiring young managers like myself.”
