Alex Ferguson: Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey is 'the one that got away' for United

Lost love: Aaron Ramsey joined Arsenal for £5million in 2008

Sir Alex Ferguson has praised Aaron Ramsey and dubbed the Wales and Arsenal ace as the “one that got away”.

The former Manchester United boss spent last week at the FIFA World Cup 2014 debrief among the world’s best coaches.

Ferguson 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: “He had a strong interest in how Aaron is doing because he was very close to signing him.

"He probably looks at it now as one that he lost out on and got away from him.

"It was really nice that he spoke about Aaron.”

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.
