If Ed Miliband needed any tips on how to win, going to meet Sir Alex Ferguson was a good move today. The new Labour Party leader was shown around Manchester United Head-Quarters and met the youth players at the Academy with United manager Ferguson - a loyal Labour voter.
With Ferguson a veteran when it comes to beating his rivals, the pair may well have been discussing and comparing notes, with Miliband fighting against Prime Minister David Cameron to run the country.
Miliband is a loyal Leeds supporter - arch rivals to Manchester United, but Ferguson must have been in a good mood. Sir Alex said "discipline and teamwork" were the key to success in football and politics.
As he left Carrington after his audience with Ferguson, Ed said: "He's given me good advice." When asked what this advice was, Ed replied "It's a secret."
