MANCHESTER United's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has opened an exhibition in his honour at the club's museum at the Old Trafford ground.

The An Audience With Sir Alex exhibition features a three-dimensional hologram image of Sir Alex discussing some of his experiences and players throughout his time to date at Manchester United.

"Manchester United is a club with a history as rich as any in world football and the museum has been a great way for fans and visitors to learn about the club and the characters involved for as long as I have been here," said Sir Alex Ferguson.

"I am honoured to have been asked to do this, Manchester United has been such a big part of my life and it is humbling to know that this exhibition will see me remain at Old Trafford forever".

Karl Evans from the club said everybody at Old Trafford was fascinated by the new exhibit.

"We're very excited by this addition to what we believe to be one of the best football museums in the world," he said.

"Sir Alex has played a huge part in making Manchester United what it is today elevating the club's global status and we think this new hologram technology is definitely something special.

"We believe this attraction will attract new visitors to the Museum and perhaps encourage those who have already visited to come back and take a look, such is the quality of the exhibition and notoriety of the manager".
