How Sir Alex Ferguson Rebuilt Manchester United
Спорт
Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United. The most intimidating string of words in all of English football for a period spanning almost 3 decades.
Sir Alex is the greatest manager of all time in my opinion, and that statement is the furthest thing from controversial I can think of.
He guided Manchester United to 13 premier league trophies, famously knocking Liverpool off their perch and winning 49 trophies in total when it was all said and done.
Today's video is part two of a previous video I've made detailing Manchester United's incredible treble win. The period from 1999 to 2013 is our focus here.
So, without further ado, how Did Sir Alex Ferguson create and recreate Manchester United's incomparable football dynasty?

I don't see how anyone can argue that Fergie isn't the greatest manager ever in English football. His track record is untouchable. This from an Arsenal fan who was 10 years old in 1992 when Sir Alex began his reign of terror. He's been a source of anguish and despair for 3 decades for me. And he's still the best manager ever.

Fergie was on a roll and didn't develope a legacy yet in the late 80's
Even though I don’t support Manchester United I now admire how he kept them competing despite the glazers and Manchester City’s transformation. He was a forward thinker like sir bobby and a great man manager. However because he oversaw everything United where left with a massive knowledge gap which despite big name managers like Mourinho they still don’t have the DNA that Ferguson built his dynasty on like Busby did before him. As well as that patient like he was afforded isn’t given to his predecessor’s .

What he did at Aberdeen was miraculous.
Ferguson kept reinventing his methods to adapt to the changing football methods to stay competitive, his man management, his ability to sign great talents and develop them, the winning mentality, emphasis on teamwork and not individualism
Interesting fact: Eric Djemba Djemba made his United debut in the same match as Cristiano Ronaldo made his. Ronaldo replaced Nicky Butt in the season opener vs Bolton Wanderers on 16/08/2003 while Eric Djemba Djemba replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Outstanding video. This United fan enjoyed the trip down memory lane. All we have now haha. Seriously though keep up the good work. Always impressed with the detail put into these. Also great to see some love for Djemba Djemba at last.
His rebuild was from one European champion to another. In between MU was still dominant in England and winning trophies every year. His greatness is seen only now when he left, and MU is just another big rich club that overpays and underperforms. I really don't think there was a club as stable, consistent and at the top of the game for so long under any other manager in any team ever. And he did it the right way-develop local from youth, buy if you have to but what you really need not just to buy a star, proper club culture etc. Greatest ever.

Fergie is the greatest manager of all time and I say that as an Arsenal fan. I loved Wenger but for me what Fergie did is kept teams competitive and regularly freshened up his coaching staff as well. This ensured the players stayed on their toes. I always though Wenger didn't adequately replace players, granted the Emirates was a drain but we needed to have a better recruitment strategy. We just went to hemorrhaging stars.
