During a public conversation, Sir Alex Ferguson spoke wonders about one of Arsenal’s youngsters who is making the headlines recently.
Sir Alex Ferguson keeps a close eye on his compatriots regardless of the teams they represent. He’s been doing it with players like Scott McTominay or Andrew Robertson. But Kieran Tierney is one of the most recent names that popped up on Ferguson’s radar due to his impressive skill as a full-back. There are few players in that position who can impress the former United manager, which makes Tierney’s moment even more important.
In fact, the most recent games from Kieran have been mostly outstanding. Sir Alex has high hopes for Scotland’s upcoming official games in different competitions. The future looks bright for his nation on the international stage, especially with players like the Gunners‘ youngster.
Sir Alex calls Tierney ‘phenomenal’.
Getting praised like this by none other than Sir Alex Ferguson, has to be right up there amongst the highest honors any Scottish player can get. We bet Kieran will never forget the day in which Sir Alex said the following about him: “I do think Scotland have some very good midfield players, and I’m not sure how they’re gonna play Robertson and Tierney in the same team,” Ferguson said on the Lockdown Theatre – A Team Talk With Legends show on Friday night via Football.London.
“I know there were some situations where they played Tierney as the third center-back, but the form of Tierney since he’s gone to Arsenal has been phenomenal. Robertson’s career at Liverpool has just got bigger and bigger.”
