The duo looked excited, as it is believed they must have discussed everything about football. They later posed for a picture as Mourinho said:

"With the Scottish legend. I have to be with them! Great Man."

Regarded as the greatest manager of all time, Ferguson certainly had the better of it in England, winning numerous trophies during a 26-year stay before he retired in 2013.

What Mourinho said about Alex Ferguson

In 2017, Mourinho branded Sir Alex as 'special'. He told Clare Balding for a BT Sport via Independent:

"Everything, his talent, the time he put his talent at the service of Manchester United and football in general.

"The passion that he has put in to everything, and after that in private moments, obviously, a good friend, a good person, a fantastic sense of humour. I like him very, very much."
