“You’re the next Manchester United manager”
“I got to the house and Sir Alex took me up the stairs, made a cup of tea, then told me what was happening. I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life. He said he was retiring, in a week’s time, and I was the next United manager. My wife knew something was up the minute I picked her up again; I must have been acting strangely. She asked me what was the matter and I told her I was the Manchester United manager. I’m afraid I can’t repeat what she said. We both agreed not to say anything to the kids, although I did let them in on the secret the following Tuesday, when the story began to break. They were made up, as was my dad, who follows me everywhere. It was a big thing for the whole family, because it is a great honour to be the manager of this club.”
