Alex Ferguson hails Dede Ayew

Published on: 25 February 2011

Ghana midfielder Andre Ayew has been endorsed by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson after his impressive shift during last Wednesday's Uefa Champions League tie.

Ayew was flamboyant for Marseille at the Stade Velodrome in their goalless draw of the round of 16 first leg tie.

The 21-year-old enhanced the veteran manager with his skills and work ethic.

''I should be honest and say that Marseille pressed us to our own half, they did not let us play our game.

''For example, Ayew played a great game, he defended and Nani was unable to pass through. He spent a lot of energy and really played a good game.''
