Coaching icon and former Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has praised Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey dubbing the Wales international as the one that got away.

Ferguson reportedly spent last week at the FIFA World Cup 2014 debrief among the world's best coaches. He had time to speak with Wales boss Chris Coleman and assistant Osian Roberts and enquired about the development of Ramsey, who he almost signed from Cardiff in 2008.

Roberts said that Ferguson had a strong interest in how Ramsey is doing because he was very close to signing him, adding that the former United boss probably looks at it now as one that he lost out on and got away from him, The Mirror reported.

 

Roberts said that it was really nice that Ferguson spoke about Ramsey.

Coleman and Roberts, who turn their attention to Wales' crunch Euro 2016 qualifying double-header against Bosnia and Cyprus next month, also tapped into Ferguson's wealth of managerial knowledge and expertise, the report added.
