Ferguson was actually there to support his son, Darren, who manages Peterborough United. It was a bit of a family affair, but he still took time to congratulate Parkinson.
In a video shared online, Sir Alex praised Parkinson’s achievement, saying, “1,000 games is fantastic – what an achievement.” He wished him success, but jokingly added, “maybe not today.”
The match was tense, with both teams struggling to score. But in a twist, Wrexham pulled off a last-minute win thanks to a header from Steven Fletcher. Parkinson had been talking about how his team has a knack for scoring late goals, just like Ferguson’s Manchester United used to do.
It’s pretty cool to see these connections in football. Just last year, Sir Alex appeared in a funny video with Wrexham’s owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, announcing a friendly match against Manchester United. The whole thing was a laugh, showing that even legends can have a good time.
