Sir Alex Ferguson

           
  Thank you. I have been very fortunate to manage some of the greatest players in the country. These players have won the championship in fantastic fashion. Well done to them.Spanish forward Michu equalised for the visitors before United defender Rio Ferdinand won the match three minutes before full-time.When we had bad times here, everyone stood by me and your job now is to stand by your new manager.I've got no script in my mind, I'm just going to ramble on and hope I get to the core of what this club is meant to be," he said.Ferguson will end his 26-year reign after the club's last match of the season, at West Brom on Sunday, 19 May.My retirement doesn't mean the end of my life with the club. I will now be able to enjoy watching them rather than suffer with them. The former Aberdeen boss, who won 38 trophies during his time at Old Trafford, will be succeeded by fellow Scot David Moyes, who will leave Everton to take over on a six-year contract from 1 July.The players, I wish the players every success in the future. You know how good you are, you know the jersey you are wearing, you know what it means to everyone here. In his 1,499th game as United manager, Ferguson's side took the lead against Swansea through Mexican striker Javier Hernandez.
