Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has rallied fans with a new season ticket speech.

After so many famous last-gasp successes, including the famous 1999 Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich in Barcelona, this season the boot was on the other foot.

But Ferguson declared in his two-minute message: "When you look back on last season, it tells you the story of Manchester United.

"There is no club in the world who can create the drama that we created last year.

"Okay, it didn't work out our way this time but when you go back through the years and the number of times we have scored last minute goals it just added to the excitement and drama of Manchester United.

"It will always be there because that is the kind of club we are.

"When you are buying your season ticket you are guaranteed:

"1) A possible heart attack.

"2) Incredible excitement in the last minute of games.

"3) Hope that we win the championship back."
