Alex Ferguson Has A Surprising Opinion On The Premier League's Best Midfielder
Sir Alex Ferguson believes Michael Carrick is the best central midfielder in the Premier League.
Speaking in an interview with Clare Balding for BT Sport, Ferguson said Carrick, one of his signings whilst at Manchester United, is still the best central midfielder in England.
"I'm not interested in what's happening with the players he's brought in, because they're going to need time."
"They've still got great players. I still think Michael Carrick is the best centre midfield player in English football. I really do. I think he's the best English player in the game."
Ferguson also commented on the fantastic striking options Louis van Gaal has at his disposal.
"I think the same about Robin van Persie too. The World Cup has maybe taken a bit out of him, but watch him in the second half of the season."
"Rooney is back flying. Rooney will always get you a goal."
Finally, Ferguson said the player he's most pleased to see succeeding is David De Gea, simply because of the stick he took for being too frail when he joined the club.
"The one that's most pleasing to me is David De Gea. Yeah, when we bought him as a kid, he was frail, he was skinny, but he had ability. He's got special talent, and he's shown that now."
