Sir Alex Ferguson has heaped praise on Roberto Martinez, saying his Wigan Athletic side always goes out to play positive football.
Ferguson's Manchester United host the Latics at Old Trafford tomorrow and the Red Devils boss has spoken highly of his Spanish counterpart for the style of play he has brought to the club.
"They changed to playing three centre-backs last season, which is very useful for them," said Ferguson. "It suits them.
"The great thing about Roberto Martinez is that his teams do play football all the time. That is great credit to him.
"That is one of the reasons why they have got consistency and continuity in their management.
"He turned down opportunities to speak to two or three clubs over the last few years.
"He has a good chairman in Dave Whelan and it could be a club on the rise."
