Sir Alex Ferguson, one of the most revered figures in English football, has revealed a surprising detail about his past in his autobiography. The legendary Manchester United manager had a romantic relationship with Doreen Carling, who would later become the grandmother of Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Ferguson, in his book, described Carling as his "first formal girlfriend". The pair met in Glasgow when they were both young and dated for a short period. After their relationship ended, Carling moved to New York and eventually married the grandfather of the future Liverpool star.
This revelation has sent shockwaves through the football world, as it connects two of the Premier League's biggest rivals in an unexpected way. Ferguson's relationship with Carling took place many years before he became manager of Manchester United, and it has no bearing on his career at Old Trafford. However, it is a fascinating glimpse into the personal life of one of the most successful managers in football history.
Ferguson was just 26 years old when he met Carling. The pair dated for a short period before going their separate ways. Ferguson later married Cathy, with whom he had three sons. Carling, meanwhile, moved to New York and eventually married the grandfather of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The revelation of Ferguson's relationship with Carling highlights the small world of football. It's a reminder that even the most famous and successful individuals have personal lives that are often unknown to the public.
The connection between Ferguson and Alexander-Arnold is a fascinating one. Ferguson's romantic involvement with Carling means that he has a personal connection to one of Liverpool's most promising young talents. However, it is unlikely that this connection will have any impact on the relationship between the two clubs.
