Sir Alex received the award from England coach Fabio Capello and says that he is flattered to receive the award from his peers in the game.

He said: "It is a tremendous honour that my fellow managers should deem me worthy of this award.

"I'm very proud to receive it."

The 66-year-old Scot takes the Red Devils to Moscow next week for the first ever all-English Champions League final with Chelsea and Ferguson believes that their last day title success will give United the edge in Russia.

He said: "The mood generated by the win puts us in a very confident position.

"I expect my players to have the ability and confidence to play on the biggest stage in the world; of that I have absolutely no doubt."
