Henry suggests that the Premier league trophy be named after Sir Alex Ferguson


Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, have suggested that the Premier League trophy should be named after Sir Alex Ferguson, to honour the Scot's unprecedented domestic success with Manchester United.

It can be recalled that 75-year-old Sir Alex Ferguson won 13 titles with Manchester United.

In a special programme for Sky Sports marking 25 years since the league's inception, Henry insisted the United legend should be immortalised on the Premier League trophy.

"When I met him for the first time, I called him Mr. Premier League. Thirteen. this is ridiculous. The trophy we see right there should have his name," said Henry.

Henry appeared on the anniversary programme alongside former Manchester United captain Roy Keane and Kenny Dalglish, who won the title with Blackburn in 1995.

"People might disagree with this, and I'm not a Man United fan. Thirteen times? This is too much."

The Frenchman, who turns 40 today, hailed Ferguson's ability to continuously adapt and rebuld his team, as well as is coaching staff.

"His ability to change his staff, bring a new number two and a new voice helped," said Henry.

"I think he knew what he wasn't good at and so he selected coaches to do the stuff he wasn't good at."
