<\/p>\n

Legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was a motivational genius in the football world, but he also helped to inspire Europe\u2019s Ryder Cup win over the United States in 2014. Two years on from the \u201cMiracle at Medinah\u201d, Paul McGinley\u2019s Europeans faced a weight of expectation to retain the trophy on home soil at Gleneagles in Scotland.<\/p>\n

The Irishman drafted in legendary 13-time Premier League-winning coach Ferguson to ensure his players were in the right frame of mind for their duels on the links with the Americans, and it paid dividends with a triumphant 16.5-11.5 victory. Only two European players remain from that team nine years ago \u2013 Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose \u2013 but they are sure to remember some of the Scotsman\u2019s words of wisdom ahead of this weekend\u2019s showdown in Italy with the famous trophy on the line.<\/p>\n

“It was very useful because we got to ask some questions, just about different things and what he thought was the key element to being successful as a team,\u201d McIlroy said after Ferguson\u2019s pep talk in the days before the opening tee shots. “He’s a very inspirational sort of man when he talks. He’s got a lot of authority and the room just goes quiet and everyone listens.”<\/p>\n

McIlroy explained that Ferguson told the European team to channel the mentality that made his United players so formidable throughout his reign, welcoming the pressure of being favorites.<\/p>\n

“United were obviously favorites and whenever he was managing, they made Old Trafford a bit of a fortress,\u201d the Northern Irishman said. \u201cAnd when teams went there, it was very hard to compete against United.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was just talking a bit about that. We’re slight favorites for a reason. We deserve to be. We’ve played well this year. It’s not something that we should shy away from. It’s something that we should embrace. For me, being a Manchester United fan, it was the highlight of the week so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

Four-time major champion McIlroy is used to leaving fans starstruck these days as the face of the PGA Tour, but it was clear that the experience he had of listening to Ferguson, now 81, in that situation was hugely inspirational and awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just sitting there and looking up at him and I didn’t take my eyes off him,\u201d he added. \u201cI was sort of in this trance just listening to everything that he was saying and I’m sort of thinking, this is all the stuff that he’s probably said to Manchester United teams over the years.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He told us a couple of stories just of past experiences in some big games and some of the players that he managed and it was a great evening. It was a really cool thing to be a part of.”<\/p>\n

McIlroy and his European teammates face the United States at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, with the tournament beginning with foursomes and fourballs on Friday. Thursday’s Opening Ceremony will see Friday morning’s first matches announced.<\/p>\n
