Benjamin Mendy puts Manchester City 'fan' in his place after Alex Ferguson comment

Well-wishes have poured in for Alex Ferguson since it emerged yesterday that the legendary football manager underwent emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage.

Tributes have come in from the former Man United manager's closest friends in the game, as well as his fiercest rivals — a testament to his character, and his impact on the game. Man City full-back Benjamin Mendy was quick to send his thoughts to Sir Alex, taking to his Twitter to write: "So sad... All our prayers for you Sir Alex." https://twitter.com/benmendy23/status/992844149501104129 All too predictably, one apparent Man City fan trolled Mendy for showing compassion towards Ferguson, and even referenced Mendy's religion in the process. https://twitter.com/AK_2018_/status/992844381504856065 Admirably, Mendy didn't waste any time on politeness when it came to dealing with the troll. https://twitter.com/benmendy23/status/992844590054039553 Over 1,000 retweets later, it's safe to say that decency won out in this exchange.
