Dutch star Robin van Perside has paid his own glowing tribute to Manchester United's departing boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Northern Irish star Jonny Evans says he and all the players were stunned by the news of Ferguson's retirement. "A lot was said about rumours flying around during our golf day but it wasn't really like that," said Evans. "We came in the next day, a meeting was called and the manager told us he was retiring. "It was still a shock because no one saw it coming. "Everyone is looking forward to working with David Moyes but are a bit gutted Sir Alex is leaving. "He's done a fantastic job here and everyone is grateful for that."
