World football mourn as DAVID Beckham leads formal England, Manchester United officials, football stars and other high dignitories to the funeral of the late wife of Sir Alex Ferguson who was buried today at Glasgow.
Host of fans all over the world pays their last respect to Mrs Ferguson dropping flowers as a mark of their last respect
DAVID Beckham and a host of footie legends were in Glasgow today to pay their respects at the funeral of Sir Alex Ferguson’s late wife.
Lady Cathy’s service was held at St Andrew’s Cathedral in the heart of the city this morning.
She passed away earlier this month aged 84, leaving the football world in mourning.
Beckham, 48, was joined by fellow Manchester United heroes including Darren Fletcher, 39, Gary Neville, 48, Nicky Butt, 48, Michael Carrick, 42, Ji Sung Park, 42, Bryan Robson, 66, and Steve Bruce, 62.
Scotland legend Kenny Dalglish, 72, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, 50, and ex-Rangers assistant Archie Knox, 76, were also at the service.
Sir Alex followed his late wife’s coffin out of the cathedral before shaking his hands with Canon Andrew McKenzie who conducted the service.
Outside Beckham mingled with other mourners outside on the pavement opposite the River Clyde.
Two cops watched from across the road while others sat in a police van keeping an eye.
Passersby watched in amazement as the ex-England captain chatted outside for around ten minutes until he was picked up by a Mercedes with blacked out windows.
Local businessmen James Mortimer and Willie Haughey were also at the funeral.
With reports of AC Milan lining up a bid, Victor Lindelof has stated his future plans at Manchester United.
Victor Lindelof is eager to continue his journey with Manchester United, expressing his wish to sign a contract extension.
The Swedish defender’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the season. There have been rumors of a switch to Serie A giants AC Milan. Yet, with Manchester United holding the option to extend the player’s deal by 12 months, a move to Italy appears unlikely.
Speaking about his contract situation to fotbollskanalen, Lindelof stated, “I have an option [for another] year and there is a deadline for it. When exactly I don’t know. But it feels likely that it will be activated.”
“Absolutely [I want to stay]. I am entering my seventh year and enjoy myself very much. I feel good, and the family feels good. It’s a club that I really like, and that I love to represent.”
Lindelof joined Manchester United in 2016 from Portuguese team Benfica for €35 million. He has since made 241 appearances for the club, scoring three goals and handing out six assists.
The 29-year-old will hope to feature in Saturday’s trip to Sheffield United in the Premier League.
