Old foes send best wishes to Ferguson

LONDON - Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola both took time out from landmark moments in their own soccer careers on Sunday to support Alex Ferguson as the legendary manager remained in intensive care after emergency surgery for a brain hemorrhage.

Considered the most successful manager in the history of British soccer, Ferguson won 38 major trophies in just over 26 years in charge of Manchester United, including 13 Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League twice before retiring in 2013.

Wenger and Scottish manager Ferguson frequently engaged in verbal spats as they battled for supremacy in the Premier League during the Frenchman's first decade of a 22-year term at Arsenal, which will come to a close at the end of the season.
