Which leads us on today's talking point.

If Fergie thinks he only managed four world-class players in his 26 years at United, that means an awful lot of players who missed out. I mean, is David Beckham not world class, and what about Peter Schmeichel?

And, more to the point, what does that mean for other players around the country during Fergie's time in management if only four United players were world class?

So our question to you is this: Which players do you think have been or are world class in the Premier League era?

Now then, former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is hitting the headlines after giving a rather interesting interview to the BBC.

Ferguson - who, lest we forget, won two Champions League and 13 Premier League titles at Old Trafford - says he only worked with four players he considered to be world class during his 26 years at the club.

From those successful teams, he says midfielder Paul Scholes and attacking trio Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs were his best players.

"They made the difference and the evidence is there," he said, calling Ronaldo "a complete genius of a player".

Manchester United are ready to make a £90m bid for Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, amid claims he could leave the La Liga side next summer, reports The Mirror., external

"United are desperate to bring Ronaldo back to Old Trafford to see out the rest of his career, but face competition to sign him from Paris St Germain, external, who will pay what it takes to land him," adds the paper.  

Here's an astonishing story if ever there was one.

In December 2004, 18-year-old Roger Federer fanatic Jesus Aparicio was involved in a serious car crash and only awoke from a coma 11 years later - in August this year.

When he woke, one of the first people he asked about was about Federer.

"When I knew that at 34 years old, he is still playing and is number two in the world, I thought they were kidding me. I could not believe it," Aparicio said, according to tennisworld.org, external

 “When I heard that he reached 17 slam titles, I put my hands on my face. I knew Federer was very good but I never thought he could win all he has won.”

It's another rest day at Rugby's World Cup but the big game tomorrow will see Scotland begin their campaign with what suddenly looks like a devilishly tough test against everybody's new favourite team Japan.

The Japanese side pulled off one of the biggest sporting shocks of all time when they defeated South Africa at the weekend and their coach Eddie Jones has warned that his team want to be more than "one-hit wonders".

"We have two objectives: reach the quarter-finals and be team of the tournament," said Jones.

Which won't be music to Scottish ears.

There are a couple of busy nights of League Cup action ahead. Here's a run-down of who's playing and when.

One player exempt from the criticism was Arsenal striker Danielle Carter, the 22-year-old scoring a hat-trick on her senior England debut.

"Dan was clinical when given the opportunity and produced a very confident performance," Sampson added.

"I mean, how often do you score a hat-trick on your England debut?

"She'll be remembered for that and it'll go down in the history books. It's certainly something we can add to our hall of fame."

England women's coach Mark Sampson is clearly a man with high standards.

He watched his team hammer Estonia 8-0 in their opening Euro 2017 qualifier then warned they need to be more clinical.

"We can always score more," Sampson said. "We're not clinical enough in the box.

"We need to make sure we're putting more of these chances away, but we're growing on that as a team."

It was England's first game since coming third at the World Cup.

Arsenal are to appeal against Gabriel's dismissal and three-match ban - while Costa has until 18:00 BST today to respond to the charge, which is for the clash with Koscielny.

If Costa accepts the charge he will serve an automatic three-match suspension with immediate effect but, if he contests it, an independent regulatory commission will rule.

Chelsea visit Walsall in the League Cup on Wednesday, before taking on Newcastle and Southampton in their next three domestic fixtures.

Right then. let's get cracking, and it's fair to say that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is unlikely to be best pleased this morning.

His striker Diego Costa has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association after the Blues 2-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday.

Costa, 26, put his hands in the face of Arsenal centre-back Laurent Koscielny prior to clashing with Gunners defender Gabriel, who was sent off.

The FA has also charged Gabriel, 24, with improper conduct and both clubs with failing to control their players.

How can this chap possibly have been charged by the FA? He was as quiet as a dormouse against Arsenal...

More of that in a moment, and about these lot too - England's women, who are celebrating after smashing eight in Estonia.

We'll got the build-up to tonight's League Cup action, plus all the breaking news and the best of what's on social media.

My, you're a lucky lot. It's another Sportsday, first the morning papers.
