"Carlos has been fantastic," said Ferguson. "His appointment is an important step for us. You can always learn in football and it has been good watching his training methods. I felt the club needed to bring in someone from a different culture. There are so many foreign players in the game you have to approach things in a different way. He is a serious man and reputations don't mean anything to him."
