Sir Alex Ferguson visits PSG team hotel on morning of Man City clash.
Former United legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson visited the Paris Saint-Germain hotel ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg clash against Man City on Tuesday night.
PSG face City in the decider after going down 2-1 down on aggregate having been defeated in Paris a week ago and require a brilliant comeback if they are to advance to the final later this month.
Although there has been no formal confirmation of the purpose behind Ferguson’s visit, MEN Sport recognizes that the hotel is currently only hosting the PSG squad, with no other guests currently staying there due to coronavirus constraints.
Ferguson has always vocalized glowingly of current PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino and after his retirement in 2013, the pair struck up a close friendship and went on to share a bottle of red wine at a Mayfair restaurant.
