Man Utd great Sir Alex baffled by demise of Spurs midfielder Dele Alli

Manchester United managerial great Sir Alex Ferguson is baffled by the demise of Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli.

Ferguson thought the 25-year-old midfielder was going to become a 'top player' and has admitted he 'doesn't know what's happened' to his promising career.

Speaking to SPORTbible, Ferguson said: "I thought Dele Alli was going to be a top player, I must admit.

"I don't know what's happened there."

The 79-year-old had been asked if there was anyone from the current game he'd try and sign if he was still a manager.

He was about to talk about Harry Kane before unexpectedly turning his attention to his Tottenham colleague.
