Fergussons final game wasn’t I think shown by Sky, as United had already won the title and there were other interesting things going on, but I’m pretty sure his infamous-in-retrospect “Your job is to stand by our new manager” (Moyes, who would be sacked before the next season was out) speech was broadcast live if not by Sky then somewhere else. (Could have been Setanta Ireland mind).

Edit: I may be confusing his last home game, which may I think was live, with his actual last game, which was away and after they had already won the title,

Yeah, I think his final home game was live, with the trophy presentation and the speech following it. Apparently that was the Sunday 4pm game against Swansea on Matchweek 37, though I thought I recall watching it on Final Score - which is definitely wrong! The final game was a 5-5 draw away to West Brom. Sky showed two games that day, focusing on Champions League qualification for Arsenal or Tottenham. Relegation had already been sorted the previous week with Wigan famously winning the FA Cup and then getting relegated the following midweek.
