How did Ferguson rise to the challenge of Manchester City to bow out of United on a high?

Key players Michael Carrick, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand recall Ferguson’s final season as a Robin Van Persie-inspired United re-capture the league title from City.

Kelly Cates and Jonathan Northcroft assess where Fergie ranks among the pantheon of great football managers and whether his methods could still bring success today.
