Sir Alex Ferguson hails two Man United youngsters as the 'heart and soul' of the club - insisting they are the 'foundation' of Erik ten Hag's team

Sir Alex Ferguson has heaped praise on two Manchester United youngsters, stating that the pair represent 'the heart and soul' of the club.

Since Ferguson left the club 11 years ago, six managers have sat in the United dugout, excluding caretakers, with differing amounts of success.

Under current manager, Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils have won two trophies, including an FA Cup last season.

However, the Dutchman could only guide them to eighth in the Premier League last season, their worst finish in the competition's history.
