He's without a doubt one of the best managers to ever walk the earth.

But as the above video proves, Sir Alex Ferguson isn't exactly well-versed in foreign languages - which is great if you fancy a giggle.

The former Manchester United boss was presented with the prestigious Walther Bensemann award in Nuremburg on Friday night.

And as you can see, was required to take to the podium to give a speech.

After addressing those in attendance, Ferguson decides to have a go speaking the native language - when in Rome and all that.

As a side note he explains his Scottish is brilliant.

To be fair it's not that bad at all - well, we don't know, we're guessing it's not - but it's crazy to see the ex-manager this far out of his comfort zone.

Enjoy.
