United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has received an honorary degree from The University of Manchester

The reward was to mark his 25 years in charge of the club and to recognise his role in shaping Manchester’s worldwide reputation.

Sir Alex, 69, was presented with an honorary doctorate, the University’s highest honour.

Sir Alex said: “I think it’s always nice to be appreciated and recognised, and getting this recognition is testimony to all the hard work that has gone on at Manchester United in the last 25 years, not just by me, but by everyone at the club.
