Sir Alex tells England's best kids: Man Utd still best place for you

Sir Alex Ferguson insists Manchester United is stil the 'go to' place for any young player in the country.

United have a proud history of bring through some of the greatest footballers the sport has seen, from George Best, Bobby Charlton and the Class of 92, all the way through to Paul Pogba and Gerard Pique.

“The thing about young people is, if you give them an opportunity, not only do they seize it, they never let you down," Ferguson told talkSPORT.

“They have enthusiasm to do well.

“If we go back to the young lads of '92, you give them an opportunity to play for Man United in front of 75,000 and they don't want to miss that.

“And they all did very well, and they're also very good human beings.

“They're [Rashford, McTominay and Greenwood] all doing well.

“It's a good set up at United. For any young kid going there, it's a great club to go to.

“And I think England are producing great young players who are representing their country and that can only be a good thing. Hopefully Scotland can follow that!"
