Sir Alex Ferguson is a name that continues to standout at Manchester United. Considered by many as the greatest manager in English soccer history, the Scotsman has won a total of 38 championships at Old Trafford.

Ferguson also paved the way for players like Gary Neville, Phil Neville, David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt. Manchester United would eventually sign Wayne Rooney in 2004 and the relationship between the two has been up and down but there has always been a mutual respect.

The two had a falling out on two occasions at Manchester United but everything indicates that both Ferguson and Rooney have made amends and are in good standing. Still, many viewers will be shocked that the former boss is not included as a participant and at the request of the former Red Devils striker as reported by The Sun.
