Sir Alex Ferguson was appointed manager of Manchester United in November 1986. During his 26 years with Manchester United, he won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and two UEFA Champions League titles. As it stands, Manchester United is the most in-form team in the premier league.

He built several great teams and achieved his goals. United were 19th in the old Division One, and Ferguson was charged with taking the club to safety and turning around their fortunes.

It was the start of a long journey, one which had started at the very bottom of the top league. While domestically they were still well off the pace, Manchester United won a trophy in Europe, as Alex Ferguson guided them to glory in the UEFA European Cup Winners’ Cup. United became the first English side to win a European competition since the mid-1980s when they beat Barcelona in the final, winning 2-1 thanks to a Mark Hughes brace in the second half. United’s entire starting XI and substitutes for that final were comprised of players from England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

Fergie’s treble was perhaps his finest moment ever as boss of United. The trophy Ferguson craved finally came around once more in 2007-08, as United lifted the European Cup for the second time under his leadership. This time, they defeated fellow Premier League side Chelsea in the final, winning 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time in Moscow, Russia. 

Manchester United wrapped up their 20th league title, and their 13th during Sir Alex Ferguson reign. They led Manchester City by 10 points, and Ferguson left United on top of the English football pyramid. It will now be for his successor to work out exactly how to keep them there—but with the weight of 26 years of experience and 38 trophies behind him, whoever takes over as United boss will have a hugely difficult task to replace Ferguson, both in terms of his personality and his incredible success.
