In an interview last month, Sir Alex spoke about how he tried to sign Man City keeper Joe Hart before he moved to City. “I could have bought Joe Hart for £100,000 so we all make mistakes,” he said. In a recent interview Hart was asked about Fergie’s comments and he didn’t hesitate in praising the United manager.
“It’s a great honour that someone like Sir Alex Ferguson goes out of his way to mention my name. Hopefully it speaks volumes for how I’m doing at the moment. For someone who I respect greatly and who I grew up admiring in football to say that is a great honour.”
“I’m not quite sure what he meant by it but he’s got fantastic goalkeepers there with Lindegaard and David de Gea.”
