It features a range of merchandise including t-shirts, hoodies, caps, magazines, programmes, photos, scarves and even footballs.
Some of the t-shirts and hoodies feature the iconic line once said by Ferguson: “Lads, it’s Tottenham.”
Spurs beat Manchester United in the final to win the Europa League, so decided to poke fun at the legendary boss.
The jibe is also a reference to the t-shirts United had made before the final took place, ready for if they won.
The United shirts also read: “Lads, it’s Tottenham,” and featured the Europa League trophy as well as the date of the final.
Fergie uttered the famous phrase during a match between Tottenham and United in 2001.
The Red Devils trailed 3-0 at half-time before going on to win 5-3 after Ferguson reminded them at the break: “Lads, it’s Tottenham.”
The phrase has stuck ever since with rival fans often using it as a stick to beat Spurs supporters with.

However Paul Scholes, who played in that 5-3 win, believes it is a derogatory remark.
He said at the final last month: “I think it’s a bit derogatory to speak about such a great football club like that.
“We knew that most of the time we had the beating of Tottenham. We were always confident against them.
“I know there’s a lot said of, ‘It’s only Tottenham’ and that should be enough to win a game. But it isn’t. You’re playing against a very good team of footballers.
“They’ve had the upper hand against United, we’ve lost the last three. It’s not quite ‘just Tottenham’ any more.”
