David pays tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson

Today, Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed he will retire as manager of Manchester United at the end of the season. As the man who picked David to play his first senior match and nurtured him throughout the early years of his career, David posted a special tribute to Sir Alex on his Facebook page. Read the full tribute below.

I've just seen the news on Sir Alex. As I have said many times before the boss wasn't just the greatest and best manager I ever played under he was also a father figure to me from the moment I arrived at the club at the age of 11 until the day I left.

Without him I would never have achieved what I have done in my career. He understood how important it was to play for your country and he knew how much it meant to me.

After '98 without the manager I would have found it virtually impossible to cope with the attention I was getting on and off the field and for this I will always be grateful to him for his support and protection.

I am truly honoured to have been guided by the greatest manager in football and to have had the career that I had under him.

Thank you boss and enjoy the rest!
