Sir Alex Ferguson's private chat with Man Utd legend after winning first trophy as manager

Dwight Yorke has revealed that he had a private message of congratulations from Sir Alex Ferguson after winning his first trophy as a manager.

The former Manchester United striker took charge of Australian A-League side MacArthur FC in July, his first job in club management. He quickly proved himself to be a capable boss, guiding the Bulls to their first trophy since they were formed.

That came in the Australia Cup, which is played across pre-season in the Oceanic country. Yorke's men cruised into the final, where they faced second-tier Sydney United, though they avoided an upset thanks to goals from Al Hasan Toure and skipper Ulises Dávila.
