Seeking as many motivational aids as possible going into his WBA World lightweight title fight next month, Manchester native Anthony Crolla received a "good luck" message right from the top.
With a big rematch against Jorge Linares on the horizon, avid Manchester United fan Crolla was surprised to receive a special video from none other than Sir Alex Ferguson himself.
