Manchester United’s Harry Maguire opens up on special Sir Alex Ferguson connection

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has opened up about his close relationship and ongoing communication with former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Speaking to club media on the 40th anniversary of Ferguson's appointment as United manager, Maguire revealed that the legendary Scottish manager frequently reaches out to offer support, advice, and encouragement during both positive and challenging moments in his career.

Maguire recalled first connecting with Ferguson in 2011 after suffering a head injury while playing for Sheffield United in the FA Youth Cup final, after which Ferguson sent him a signed get-well letter. Ferguson won 38 major trophies across his 26-year tenure at Old Trafford, and United will host a special dinner at the stadium this weekend to mark the milestone.
