Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says his Old Trafford farewell on Sunday will stay with him forever.

Ferguson thanked the fans for the reception they gave him during the 2-1 win over Swansea, his final game at Old Trafford.

"Yesterday was a day I will never forget," he said. "I thank you for that."

Ferguson also urged supporters to turn up for Tuesday's Under-21 encounter with Liverpool at Old Trafford.

"We play that mob across the road," he said.

"I hope some of you cheer the young lads on."
