This is certainly an interesting comparison.

Former Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has paid his new boss at West Brom a very grand compliment indeed - by comparing him to one of the greatest managers of all time. Evans sees a lot of Sir Alex Ferguson (over 40 trophies, including 13 Premier League and two UEFA Champions League titles) in Pulis (FA Cup finalist in 2011). "I've noticed a lot of similarities [between Pulis and Ferguson]," explained Evans on Football Focus. "In their personalities and the way they treat people." "I met the manager [Pulis] about a week or so before signing, and I liked him straight away. I think he's a real honest guy and hardworking, and those are things that appealed to me." Perhaps an outside bet to replace Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford, eh Jonny?
