Proud northerner Sir Alex Ferguson visited Sale Sharks on Tuesday in a bid to share his wisdom as the club prepare for their first Premiership final in 17 years.
The legendary former Manchester United manager went to Carrington to meet Alex Sanderson's squad ahead of their showdown with Saracens at Twickenham on Saturday and told them: 'You're not there to enjoy it, you're there to win.'
Ferguson has previously watched Sale play and has links to one of the co-owners. 'It happened through Ged Mason — with shared investments in racehorses — and through him being a proud northerner and having influence in winning cups,' said Sanderson.
