Sir Alex says Coleen is “A Clever Girl”

Sir Alex Ferguson has always had a rocky relationship with the wives and girlfriends of his players, but he seems to like Coleen.

During David Beckham’s time at Manchester United, Sir Alex was particularly contemptuous of the midfielder’s wife Victoria – or ‘that f****** girl’. He blamed the Victoria for distracting her husband from his duties on the field.

But now the famously tough United manager has shown that he is mellowing – by giving his seal of approval to Wayne Rooney’s fiancee Coleen McLoughlin.

In an interview with The Mail on Sunday he describes Coleen, who is to marry the England striker next month, as a ‘clever girl who is down to earth – she’s good’.

And he confirms his contempt for the Beckham celebrity circus by describing Rooney as ‘different class’, adding significantly: ‘He doesn’t court publicity.’
