It takes no investigation to know that Jorge Mendes prefers Sir Alex Ferguson to Louis van Gaal, the Portuguese agent has said as much himself when speaking about Radamel Falcao.

The height of their business was Cristiano Ronaldo and the low was Bebe, those experiences built a bond between the two men - or at least Mendes likes to think so.
