'Fergie' is regarded as one of the all-time greats, having won armfuls of silverware in his 1500 matches in charge of the Red Devils
Sir Alex Ferguson is considered to be one of the greatest managers of all time, not just for Manchester United but in world football.
The Scotsman was noted for his success at Old Trafford, where he won 22 major domestic titles, two European Cups and the Cup Winners’ Cup of 1991.
Such a formidable track record allowed him longevity unparalleled in the modern game, with Ferguson in post for the Red Devils from 1986 until he elected to retire in 2013.
