It has been revealed that Sir Alex sent Belgian international Steven Defour a letter after he broke his foot.
"I've just heard about your injury and, in the name of Manchester United, I would like to wish you a full and speedy recovery," read the letter.
"I am sure at the moment you must be feeling awful and that you'll have all kinds of questions.
"Steven, these are natural worries but I have to tell you that modern medicine and treatments are incredible, you have to have confidence in them.
"I'm going to follow your progress closely and I will remain in contact with your club to have news of your recovery."
Defour spoke about the letter saying.
"One thing I should like to highlight is that Ferguson has followed his interest officially," Defour told Het Laatste Nieuws.
"He addressed the letter to Standard. I think the attention is great, but I do not want people to think I am already at Manchester, which is by no means the case.
"But if they come knocking, then I would obviously not cause problems."
Everton had a £9 million bid rejected for the 21 year old midfielder in the summer.
He looks like a good prospect and its good to see we are keeping tabs on players, I also heard that he is a big Man United fan.:gooo:
