Legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that his upcoming book will include several surprising stories from his long football career.
The iconic Scotsman, who led United for 27 years, is preparing to release a new book called Games of My Life.
In the book, Ferguson looks back at 21 matches that had a big impact on him throughout his life.
The former United boss enjoyed incredible success at Old Trafford, winning 13 Premier League titles and two UEFA Champions League trophies.
But in this new project, Ferguson says he has chosen matches that are more personal rather than just the most famous games fans might expect.
According to Ferguson, some of the matches he picked are not even recorded on television. Instead, they live only in his memories.
The 84-year-old explained that the games remind him of important moments from different stages of his life, starting from his early years growing up in Scotland all the way to his most successful days managing Manchester United.
For many United fans, the book will offer a new look into the mind of one of the greatest managers in football history.
Michael Carrick is guiding United during an important period
While Ferguson is looking back at the past, Manchester United is also trying to build for the future.
Currently, former United midfielder Michael Carrick is guiding the team through a very important stage of the season.
Carrick, who previously managed Middlesbrough, has stepped into the role at Old Trafford and is hoping to prove he deserves the job permanently.
So far, the former England international has made a strong start.
His team has won six out of eight matches since he took charge, giving supporters hope that the club could still finish in the Premier League’s top four.
Just a few months ago, such a finish looked very unlikely.
But under Carrick, performances have improved, and the team is beginning to show more confidence on the pitch.
Midfield rebuild expected in the summer
While results have improved, Manchester United still has work to do when it comes to strengthening the squad.
One of the main areas the club wants to improve is the midfield.
The club is already thinking about a long-term replacement for experienced midfielder Casemiro, who has been a key player for the team in recent seasons.
Reports suggest United could make a big signing this summer as part of a major rebuild in the middle of the pitch.
Several names have been linked with the club, including Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton, and Sandro Tonali.
However, one player who continues to stand out as a top target is Carlos Baleba.
Carlos Baleba is emerging as the top target
Baleba currently plays for Brighton & Hove Albion and has attracted attention with his powerful midfield displays.
The Cameroon international is only 22 years old but already has many of the qualities needed to succeed in the Premier League.

He is known for his strength, energy, and ability to protect the defence.
Some experts believe Baleba would work very well alongside rising United star Kobbie Mainoo.
Mainoo is excellent at carrying the ball forward and helping attacks, while Baleba’s more defensive style could give the team better balance.
That combination could become an important part of United’s midfield for many years.
Even though Baleba has not had his best season with Brighton, many people who have watched him closely still believe he has huge potential.
Former Brighton striker Glenn Murray has even suggested that Baleba could eventually become better than former Seagulls star Moises Caicedo.
That is high praise considering Caicedo is now one of the most expensive midfielders in football.
Big decisions ahead for Manchester United
Manchester United’s new football leadership group, led by Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS team, is expected to invest heavily in the squad during the next transfer window.
The goal is to build a stronger team capable of competing for major trophies again.
Last summer, the club focused on improving its attacking options.
Now attention is turning towards the midfield, where fresh energy and new ideas are needed.
If United decides to push forward with a move for Baleba, it could become one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer.
For now, supporters will watch closely as the team tries to finish the season strongly under Michael Carrick while plans for the future continue behind the scenes at Old Trafford.
