But recently, his wife’s unfortunate death shattered the 81-year-old. Enduring the difficult phase, Ferguson has sent a message to Manchester United for their support.

SAF is a true idol on the Red Side of Manchester. Hence, Manchester United made a lovely gesture which was admired by the world and Ferguson. His uplifting response to the love and support shown by the Red Devils has caught the media’s attention.

Sir Alex Ferguson responds to the lovely gesture by Manchester United after his wife’s death

Manchester United wore black armbands in their 2-0 win over Brentford to pay tribute to Alex Ferguson’s wife, Cathy Ferguson. Flags were reduced to half-staff at Old Trafford, as Cathy was considered the ‘tower of strength for Sir Alex throughout his career. ‘The former club manager said, “Unfortunately, I have also suffered the painful loss of my beloved wife, Cathy, this month, and I want to thank the club, the fans, and everyone who has sent me their condolences. The black armbands worn by the team against Brentford and the flags at half-mast around Old Trafford were a wonderful tribute. Cathy supported me every step of the way through my career, and she was the backbone of our family.”

Despite the heartwarming tribute, Manchester United’s stunning comeback win reminded the fans of their former manager. During Ferguson’s era, United was recognized for scoring late goals. Many people even referred to the stoppage time of the game as ‘Fergie time.’ Let’s take a closer look at Manchester United’s win over Brentford.

Manchester United gave Cathy Ferguson the perfect tribute

Manchester United defied the odds and produced a remarkable comeback win against a well-organized Brentford side. Brentford was in a comfortable position after Mathias Jensen gave the visitors the lead in the 26th minute of the game. After their lead, the Red Devils created numerous chances but failed to convert a single one. But a game-changing substitution by Erik Ten Hag in the 87th tilted the game in United’s favor. Scott McTominay scored two late in the 90+3 and 90+7 minutes to win the game for United. This massive win was a perfect tribute to Cathy Ferguson.

Despite the win, Manchester United is eighth in the league table, eleven points adrift of the leaders, Spurs. They will look to get into the top four this season. But the recent poor form won’t be appealing to the Manchester United faithful. Will the Red Devils secure a top-four spot this season?
