Michael Edwards will face the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand when he takes his seat in the Old Trafford directors' box on Sunday and, for the man charged with hiring Jürgen Klopp's successor at Liverpool, the big red letters spelling out the name of Manchester United's greatest manager will offer a reminder of the daunting task he has taken on at Anfield.
United are still attempting to replace Ferguson, 11 years after he stepped down following a 13th Premier League title in the space of 20 years. Erik ten Hag became the fifth permanent manager appointed by United since 2013 when he arrived from Ajax in 2022 and, with the team struggling to qualify for next season's Champions League, it appears increasingly likely the club will roll the dice and hire No.
