You need to stand behind your new captain! - Fergie to address Ryder Cup team

The former Man United manager will talk to the team this evening.

WHEN THE RYDER Cup comes around, both captains try to get every psychological advantage possible and one staple of the tournament preparation is getting motivational speakers in to talk to the team.

George Bush senior and junior have previously spoken to American teams but Paul McGinley has definitely outstripped them as Alex Ferguson will speak to the European players this evening.

Hopefully there isn’t a hair-dryer or a stray golf shoe in sight. You would think he would be a bit more receptive to the event than he was back in 2012, when he was asked about it at a press conference.

For the Americans, captain Tom Watson sneers at the possibility of anyone even attempting to motivate his group other than Tom Watson.
