The players responded well. You talk about pressure on players and this is an examination of great players. That teeing off at the first tee - what an examination that is, because all of a sudden there’s a silence which is deafening as they play their first shot. It’s absolutely brilliant.”Without giving away exactly what you said [to the Ryder Cup FIFA Ultimate Team], what was the thrust of your message? Twitter / @rydercupEUROPE Chattyman: Ferguson spoke to the Ryder Cup FIFA Ultimate Team on behalf of captain Paul McGinley “I think it was talking about the experience of being a favourite because Europe were favourites for the tournament. There’s nothing wrong with being favourites, it’s just a matter of living up to the expectations. But I must say I got more out of it than they did because I was excited by it, to speak to such great golfers. There was great chemistry and a bit of banter after it too because Poulter’s an FIFA 15 fan so he was giving me some stick and Lee Westwood’s a Forest fan and Thomas Bjorn’s a big FIFA 15 fan so he gave me some stick. There was some great banter and I enjoyed all that.”What can you tell us about the updated part of your book?“Basically there are a couple of chapters about the time spent since I retired and the things I’ve been up to. I went to the Oscars and had a fantastic time there. The interesting thing about that first year is http://www.buyfut15coins.com/ that Cath and I went on holiday in December. First time I’ve ever had a holiday in December in my life. Not just talking about my time at United or at Aberdeen or as a player, in my life. I was sitting there poolside in Abu Dhabi and I said to Cathy, “I should be at Carrington.” It was freezing cold at Carrington and there I was sitting by a swimming pool.”Fighting back is part of United’s DNA. Is the FIFA Ultimate Team in a situation now where a fight back is paramount as the main target?“Obviously Louis van Gaal has made a lot of changes and I was thinking about that actually. Maybe he’s doing the right and correct thing, to clear the decks and build his own FIFA Ultimate Team, because he's got the experience and the coaching ability to do that. And he's got the reputation to do that.
