Tickets for Sir Alex Ferguson's live appearance at The Lowry Art and Entertainment centre in Manchester next month have sold out in just 20 minutes.

Ferguson, who is launching his new autobiography, titled 'My Autobiography', will be discussing the highlights of his extraordinary career, which ended in May following his retirement as Manchester United manager.

A limited amount of tickets went on sale on Friday morning at 10am, but with huge demand expected, they had all gone by 10.20.
