Farewell 2-1 win by Manchester United for Sir Alex

Sir Alex Ferguson's last match as Manchester United manager brought him a memorable win with a late goal at Old Trafford Sunday yesterday.

When the Red Devils met the Swans, the opened the score in the 39th minute when Hernandez scored the first goal for the Devils in the 39th minute. But it was equalized in the 49th minute by Michu.

Thereafter, it seemed as Sir Alex's farewell will end with a drawn match - but perhaps this was not that something that the Red Devils wanted and continued their level best to win the match for their 71 years old out going manager.

And then just minutes away form the final whistle, Ferdinand struck in the 87th minute to bring a 2-1 victory over the Swansea and pay tribute to Sir Alex - who goes away much satisfied and happy with his farewell win and emotional tribute.

In fact Rio Ferdinand's first goal for five years gave Ferguson three points against Swansea City in his 723rd game at "The Theatre Of Dreams" following the announcement of his retirement after 26 years at the club.

And then there went away the Scot in an atmosphere of celebration and sentimentality, the mood was captured as Frank Sinatra's "My Way" and Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable" played out over the public address system in tribute to Ferguson.
