The announcement of Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement after 27 years as the manager of Manchester United has triggered various reactions. One notably heartfelt response comes from Michael Owen, a former player for Manchester United:
“I’m truly shocked by his departure; it feels like stepping into the unknown. Manchester United without Sir Alex just doesn’t seem right. It’s an immense honor to have played for arguably the greatest manager the world has ever seen. What a remarkable way for such a great man to conclude his career.”
