Ferguson was absent from Manchester United's home game and watched the game against another old club with a smile! Guardiola praised him as the best manager

In Manchester United's 2-1 Premier League win over Brentford, Ferguilla did not appear at Old Trafford. After losing his status as a club ambassador, the old man's first public appearance came at another old club, Aberdeen in the Scottish Super League, where he watched the team travel to Celtic.

At Celtic Park, Fergues was smiling and not unhappy with a £2.16 million missing position. Ferguson won 10 major trophies as Aberdeen manager before joining United in 1986, including three league titles, one European Cup Winners' Cup and one UEFA Super Cup.

Aberdeen have enjoyed an excellent start to the season, winning all 13 games in all competitions before travelling to Celtic! They didn't disappoint on Saturday either, with Aberdeen coming from 2-0 down to draw an impressive 2-2 away at the defending champions.

So, despite missing out on Manchester United's 2-1 win over Brentford, it was also a pleasant afternoon. At Aberdeen's home stadium, the Pittodrie Stadium, he also has his own bronze statue. Moreover, Celtic vs Aberdeen are the top game in the Premier League, so it is understandable to watch this game instead of Manchester United and Brentford. After the draw, Aberdeen and Celtic continue to be level on 22 points, with the latter sitting in first place on goal difference.

The 82-year-old grew up in Glasgow and coached Aberdeen between 1978 and 1986, when the team had no training ground and had to practice in parks, car parks and beaches. But in the end, he led the team to end the monopoly of Celtic and Glasgow Rovers on the Premier League title, and defeated Real Madrid in the 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup final to win the European trophy. It was also the last time Galacticos lost in a season-based European final!

He remains the last coach to win the league title in Scotland with a team other than Celtic and Rangers, and the last to beat Real Madrid in a European final.

The trip was said to have been planned long ago and had nothing to do with the dismissal of Manchester United ambassador at a senior management meeting with Sir Jim · Ratcliffe. He remains a popular figure in any United game and has been since he left the manager in 2013.

Although Ferguson did not appear, it did not prevent the fans of the West Stand at Old Trafford from singing the praises of the legendary manager during the game. City rivals Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola also praised Fernandess as the greatest coach in football history, insisting that he had no intention of staying at Manchester City and was just a legend beyond the old man.

"In this country and around the world, Fergus is the best. Because of the time in charge, because of the changes to the team, because of the number of trophies won." "For Manchester United fans, [the best] will always be Sir Alex Ferguson."

Pep Guardiola added: "Absolutely, it's not that I'm a bad manager, otherwise I wouldn't have been at Manchester City for a long time and succeeded. But to be the best, or not the best, trust me, it doesn't matter." 'Competition is important, Jurgen Klopp, Jose Mourinho and now Mikel Arteta have all made me a better coach and we need that. But it's not the best, that's not the point."
