According to the Football411 website, the Soweto giants have shared a successful relationship with the 20-time English champions, having played each other on five separate occasions, the first coming in 1993 while they most recently clashed in the Vodacom Challenge final in 2008.
Amakhosi have also proved somewhat of a lucky charm for the Red Devils, who have gone on to win the Premier League title on three separate occasions after having visited the PSL giants.
Speaking to Chiefs' official website, Motaung said: "We would like congratulate Sir Alex Ferguson for his success as the manager of Manchester United.
"When he vacates his post, Sir Alex will leave an indelible mark in the rich history of Man U, especially having followed in the footsteps of the legendary Scotsman Sir Matt Busby, who coached 'Man U' between 1945 and 1969.
"In recent history of modern football Sir Alex remains the best manager if you look at his achievements.
"I am sure Man U will appoint a suitable candidate to succeed him and obviously measures will be put in place to ensure a smooth transition in that regard. We wish whoever will take over the best going forward into the new Man U era."
