Brazil icon Kaka has made a social media post after meeting Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson. Kaka, one of the best Brazilian players of all time, shared a snap with Ferguson on X. He captioned the image:

"Every conversation is a lesson, thank you mister Ferguson!"

Ferguson is widely regarded as one of the greatest managers to ever live. His Manchester United reign is the stuff of legends. The Scot won 39 trophies with the club, including 13 Premier League titles and two UEFA Champions Leagues.

Kaka once revealed that Ferguson even tried to sign him for United along with his brother Digao. Both of them used to play for AC Milan at that point in time. He said (via FourFourTwo):

"Once he wanted to sign me and my brother when we were with Milan, but we chose to stay."

Kaka eventually moved to Real Madrid from AC Milan, where his career didn't flourish as the Brazilian ace would have liked. He eventually ended up returning to Milan. Kaka then moved to the MLS and hung up the boots after playing for Orlando City.

He had a glittering career and won the 2002 FIFA World Cup with Brazil. He was the 2007 Ballon d'Or winner as well.

When Sir Alex Ferguson was left impressed by Kaka

When Manchester United and AC Milan met in the 2006-07 semi-finals, Milan won 3-2 at Old Trafford in the first leg. Kaka scored two spectacular goals in that game.

The Serie A giants won the second leg 3-0, with Kaka getting on the scoresheet yet again. Milan eventually went on to win the Champions League that year. Sir Alex Ferguson was thoroughly impressed with how Kaka played. He said in 2009 (via talkSPORT):

"Although he has never taken my breath away, Kaka has impressed."

Kaka arguably played the best football of his career for the Rossoneri. In his prime, Kaka's speed and dribbling were often too much to handle for defenders.
