Fergie wishes Mourinho luck

Alex Ferguson has wished Jose Mourinho luck and said the Premiership and English football will miss the ex-Chelsea boss. The Man Utd boss jokingly declared, "I don't know who I'm going to share my wine with now".

"What has he done? He's been fantastic and brought unparalleled success. It's certainly a challenge for the man that replaces him. At the moment it's Avram Grant, and it's a big test for him.

"I wish Jose well, but that's as far as I want to put it. What happens at Chelsea doesn't matter to us, we've got to focus on our game because it's still the same set of players that we will be facing. And that's a challenge enough for us.

"When you play Chelsea it's always a big game. I don't think it will be a defining moment, but it's important. If you look at the record between the two teams over the last three or four years there is nothing in it. Very few goals are scored. It's always a tight, tight game."
