Ferguson personally admitted his life s regret: I really regret not signing him, he reminded me of Robson

Sir Alex Ferguson, a legend in football history, has almost flawless coaching career for 29 years. His ability to recognize beads in the transfer market is even more legendary. However, even such a legend has a deep regret in his heart. Once he admitted himself and missed the opportunity to be a superstar in England.

The name that made him regret his life was Frank Lampard.

Ferguson's ultimate confession

On the eve of retirement, Sir Ferguson talked about Chelsea legend Frank Lampard and expressed his deep regret.

"Lampard is incredible. He is a phenomenal player." Ferguson exclaimed.

"I have been following him since he was still in West Ham's youth team, and since then, I have regretted not signing him. Who else can get me 200 goals from the midfield position?"

Ferguson even compared Lampard with Manchester United's own legend, which is the highest praise he can give: "He has the talent of Brian Robson, and he can always seize the excellent opportunity to enter the penalty area."

2005 Golden Globes

Perhaps the most heart-wrenching moment for Ferguson happened in the 2005 Golden Globes.

That year, Lampard's performance conquered the world, and he ranked second in the final ranking of the Golden Globes, second only to the Brazilian football king Ronaldinho, who was at the peak of his time.

At that time, Cristiano Ronaldo, the pride of heaven under Ferguson, ranked only 20th in the ranking that year. This is undoubtedly a cruel reminder, highlighting what kind of world-class superstar Ferguson missed at that time.

Ferguson rarely missed the transfer market, but Lampard is undoubtedly the most regrettable page in his almost perfect signing book. A midfielder with top goal-scoring ability, steel-like physical fitness and great professionalism passed by Old Trafford.
