Intrigued to see how Poch goes about it.

I hope he's given control.

The 'system' is impressive at Brighton and Brentford but I don't think United have that infrastructure in place.

Pure class from Carrick.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Heartfelt, typically dignified response from Michael Carrick via instagram @carras16

How long do you think you’d need to master being a human?

I’m 45 and feel like I’m just figuring out the first bit.

I reckon 500 years would be a good amount of time.

First frosty jog of the season.

As soon as I put my hood up the Rocky theme tune started in my head.

“Duh, Duh, Duh, duh duh..”

Ingrained.

@LouMacari10 Congratulations Lou.

@Mlabus5 Interesting. Very surprising that happened at Bromley in the context.

[Teddy Draper - Sport and Life @TeddyDraper]

Really instructive to revisit Martin Edwards' comments about why MUFC stuck with Sir Alex Ferguson in the early years of struggle.

The club board could see what he was building.

Key question: can the club's current executives detect that progress if and when?

[Teddy Draper - Sport and Life @TeddyDraper]

@talkSPORT Great broadcaster, great man. Passion personified.

[Teddy Draper - Sport and Life @TeddyDraper]

@meurig73 Used to love watching him ping balls in the warm up - and his control of the returning passes.

Don't buy the argument Manchester United can't apply lessons from Sir Alex Ferguson's early years.

United won FA Cups and had title-race cameos under Big Ron leading up to SAF.

But the build to the 93 PL title saw real struggles and flirtations with relegation battles.

Powerful to about the power of boxing to help troubled adolescents.

Mercedas Taaffe-Cooper did great work pushing women's boxing but arguably her legacy is even more powerful because of her CounterPunch programme.

[Teddy Draper - Sport and Life @TeddyDraper]

Love the Gentleman CBS but that’s some showing from Cheav Clarke.

[Teddy Draper - Sport and Life @TeddyDraper]

Not sure how Dana White has visually achieved it… but when I turn on Zuffa boxing, I think that has a UFC ‘look.’

[Teddy Draper - Sport and Life @TeddyDraper]

Corking couple of strikes from Liam Delap today.

Love the second, on his 'weaker' left foot.

Not easy to get that whip at full tilt, even on your stronger foot.

[Teddy Draper - Sport and Life @TeddyDraper]

@Mlabus5 Wow.

[Teddy Draper - Sport and Life @TeddyDraper]

The Malvern Hills looking fine in the sun from our vantage point on Leckhampton Hill this morning!

The Triple Tonic remains undefeated: fresh air, movement and conversation bolstering body and mind since time began.

[Teddy Draper - Sport and Life @TeddyDraper]

@JonnyWilkinson Sensational.

You should be working as an NFL kicker Johnny.

Still got it and then some.

[Teddy Draper - Sport and Life @TeddyDraper]

Special day.

[Wayne Barton @WayneSBarton]

Forty years ago today the greatest ever era in football management began when Sir Alex Ferguson was appointed as manager of @manutd.

He was manager for over 26 years. For so much of my life he was constant, demonstrating standards of what it took to be successful. While so much of life would change, he remained, and that feeling of values and making the most of what you had was something which translated beyond football.

All of us as supporters were lucky. I realise my own fortune to have met him a few times, to have spent a morning interviewing him ten years ago and to recently have had the privilege to have a book published celebrating that era.

History has proven how remarkable what he accomplished was. Across the city it was demonstrated that you have to cheat to the greatest scale ever seen in the history of the game just to have a team that can be compared - and even then, they still fell short, because the nature of sport is not merely what is done, it’s the way in which it is done.

For that, you’ll have Busby, Michels, Sacchi, Stein, Shankly, Clough and a couple of others worthy of others in the great debate. For me, it’s Sir Alex above all.
