Manchester United’s legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson has weighed into the GOAT debate.

Messi and Ronaldo’s career was the biggest rivalry in football, with both players reaching the highest level no one expected. 

Many pundits, footballers, ex-footballers and managers including which doesn’t look like it will end soon.

Alex Ferguson on who is the GOAT

Given that Ronaldo was maybe the best player to train under the Scot, Sir Alex Ferguson undoubtedly has a close relationship with the player. 

However, when the dynamic coach was asked by world snooker champion John Parrott to choose between the two, he gave the ideal response.

He said , “People say who is the best player in the world? And plenty of people quite rightly say Messi – you can’t dispute that opinion. 

But Ronaldo could play for Millwall, Queens Park Rangers, Doncaster Rovers… Anyone, and score a hat-trick in a game.

“I’m not sure Messi could do it. Ronaldo’s got two feet, he’s quick, great in the air, he’s brave – Messi’s brave, of course. I think Messi’s a Barcelona player.”
