Sir Alex Ferguson’s son sends blunt League One promotion warning to Wrexham with Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney’s side ‘always being spoken and written about’
“They’ve hit the ground running this season which doesn’t surprise me at all,” Ferguson, son of the legendary former Manchester United manager Alex, said to reporters. “They have carried great momentum from last season and they have a real understanding of how they play under a manager who has been there for a long time now. They have been very good at home so far and they also picked up a very good point at Bolton, but they will find this season a lot tougher. They are certainly not going to run away with another promotion. We know we are in for a tough game though, but I am really looking forward to it. The atmosphere will be great.”
Ferguson spent eight years as a Wrexham player, leaving in 2007, but joked that it’s not been difficult to follow their progress since the arrival of Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in 2021.
The 52-year-old added: “Since I left I have always looked out for how they are getting on, but you now don’t have to look very hard because the club is always being spoken and written about!”
Ferguson will come up against his former side on Saturday afternoon in a match that pits seventh-placed Peterborough against their Welsh opponents, who currently sit fourth
