He masterminded an 8-2 win against Arsenal with a central midfield pairing of Tom Cleverley and Anderson. That's legendary status already!
Yes Arsenal had the worst starting 11 that night..bt Still Arsenal is considered one the biggest names in English football..
Wan Muhd And in the Europa League too.
Great tactics to, when hammered by Saints and hid behind the Colour of shirt.
God loves you all.
Humbly seek him.
Yeah when Utd won 8-2 Fergy a legand, when hammered by a poor sSouthampton side, it was the shirts. Fergy was the ultimate excuse maker
Winning a league is ordinary, but winning a league with Cleverly and Anderson in midfield is extra-ordinary
Winning a league ain't ordinary
@@LeafyPeach happens every year tho
@@Velldog but it's not easy and isn't ordinary. Not extraordinary either but definitely not ordinary.
@@LeafyPeach in the context of Ferguson and United's history. Ordinary seems right.
And Jones and Smalling in defence
Sir Alex played 2 weeks with Michael Carrick & Fletcher as CB...and they won both.
He even played O'Shea as a 10...no one will ever understand it but he won again.
Greatest ever
He's just havin a laugh at that point
That game with carrick at centerback i really respected defenders as a whole, as brilliant as they were carrick and fletcher were lost schoolboys on the pitch
😂😂😂this just made my evening
He was trolling with his opponents at this point 🤷♂️😂🤣😂🤣
I’m a United fan and I remember this season very well. This was the same season when United struggled to get clean sheets and had an aging and bizarre defence, but STILL managed to win the league and by a comfortable margin (11 points). Would have won it by 15 or more points but he relaxed a little because the title was already won in like March. Love him or hate him, you have to admit that Alex Ferguson was a monster!!
Priince Brvce The best manager the prem has ever had (City fan)
Matthew I'd say best manager ever in the history of football, seriously who was better than him?!
Priince Brvce ofcourse you should remember this season it was just 5 years ago
LORD yes, but it was also the last season when United were competing
Thankfully it combined with Aguero having his worst season for City (only 17 goals). Had he scored 30 like he had done the previous season I probably would have gone right to the end again or City might have won it. In Moyes first season part of the reason why he did so badly and United were 15 points behind 4th place even was suddenly we weren't free-scoring in a lot of games. Average for the season was 1.684 goals a game, whereas it had been 2.263 goals a game. Which is what you'd expect a title winner to have as an average as if you are scoring between 2-3 goals a game you would expect to win most of the 38 games of a season. Unless you are really good in defence you aren't going to get anywhere near the top of the league. Mourinho seems to have addressed the problem this season as last season United scored less goals than Bournemouth! and the season before that only scored 1 more that Sunderland! Thankfully winning the F.A Cup, League Cup and Europa League in the last 2 years and returning to the Champions League have glossed over what would have been seen as 2 more poor seasons for United.
"I'm a dinosaur, I'm an absolute dinosaur. But what I am.... Im a winner" what a fucking quote. That he went and backed up makes it more special
Doesn't make sense though................
Don't Talk Shit yea i dont get it either :/
Apolinar Lopez people were saying that modern football has changed. and he is stuck in old ways of football. Him and wenger dinosaurs. So that quote is him saying even though i am a dinosaur I will always be a winner. And he proved it.
Niv Football yeah but the phrasing is all wrong...if his second statement started with "BUT what I am", then his first statement should've been "I am NOT [something]"....just saying
Don't Talk Shit yea I get what you mean. Was not worded in the best way but it doesn't matter anyone with half a brain understood what he meant.
People call this the Van Persie season but I remember Carrick being just as important for Man United.
People over sell the Van P transfer, like it was some master stroke! he was the most in demand striker in the premier league, whom wanted to join Utd! it was a no brainer! its remeber though very different, like Fergy found this 29yr old striker and took a risk!
Is a the RVP season tho, do you disgree?
@@bollockchopmitchell3281 Change the channel mate. You've posted the same reply on every comment.
bollockchop mitchell it actually was risk cause of his injuries he’d basically missed half of Arsenal’s Matches up until that point
@@bollockchopmitchell3281 He should have bought Hazard that summer like they had planned before city fluked the title
As a Utd fan I had goosebumps while watching this video
Miss him. He was the manager throughout most of my life. With mourinho if it's true talking about PSG, things will never be the same. Sir Alex WAS Manchester United.
Enjoy it. It wont happen again! Manchester is blue while pep is around
The Fearless Number 8 just wait and see...
.
Qp10l
Me too!
Sir Alex won the league with 2 34+ year old center backs pep could never
animation Parmar Alex Ferguson won multiple league titles with bang average players, that man was an animal!!
There was a time where he put 6 defenders on the field. If I'm not wrong, its against Arsenal. And United wins.
John Tampi Yes, he put 7 natural defenders in the starting line up and still managed to beat Arsenal 2-0
animation Parmar ...stop with stupid comparisons of Fergie and Pep he's managed 20+ more years. 29 goals in 8 games.
Yatesy Wooooow 29 goal’s in 8 games. What does that win you at the moment? Until he wins the league that statistic don’t mean shit. Fucking idiot
One of the worse squads to ever win the league. Showed just how influencial Ferguson was to their success, especially when you consider what happened the season after.
Red Law The liechester
It wasn't one of the worse squad to ever win the league.
Moyes was the worse coach to ever lead a team.
TBH, it was a fluke of a season. So many 50/50 game went United's way while their vastly superior City greatly underperformed. Likewise the very next season all those 50/50 games went against Moyes making him look worse than he really was.
@@Mitjitsu It was hardly a fluke you cretin. Nobody flukes their way to a Premier League title.
Jealous ?
In this one season, RVP was more successful than he ever was at arsenal.
But , the video makes out it was a master piece by Fergy! Vpersie was the number 1 target for many clubs inc City. he was in big demand! he chose Utd because of a kid hood thing. Getting Van P was the Ovb move for Utd. not some shock
And no surprise to me, that he added the goals to push the 1st or 2nd best team over the line.
@SB1 Fitness i think by succesful i think he meant becoming a WINNER
RVP is ManU legend now not Arsenal haha
Van Per-sie, when a girl says no, molest her.
SB1 Fitness yeah but the thing is at United his goals counts for something as it win the title at arsenal he scored but it’s was to seal 4th place always
The amount of times they came from behind to win that year was incredible. It was painful as a Liverpool fan, but you can’t deny that Fergus was an absolute genius.
Ferguson's greatness can be understood even better when u consider how awful David Moyes was the next season with the same team!!
it's not the same team. ferguson left just when 90% of the team was getting old and not good enough anymore. he left just in time so he didn't have to get through the rebuild. even if he stayed, united would have struggled.
Kopite Hmm. Good point. But Moyes didn't make it easy for himself when he asked Vidic to learn defending from Jagielka. Imo Moyes was a good choice, better than Van Gaal for sure, and deserved much more time. But Ferguson has no comparison.
The 90s Myth Moyes was a good choice?😂 No he wasn't lmfao the man only finished in top 4 once. United could have gotten Mourinho instead
Bigga it’s easy to say mourinho now since he actually has the job, but back then there was no guarantee that he actually would have taken it or was interested in it at all. And moyes was better than the overhyped van gaal who spent millions on transfers and still couldn’t win the league.
How was he better than LvG? LvG won UCL title with Ajax in the 90s, won the Dutch title with Az Alkmaar in 08-09 and was 3rd at the WC 2014 with one of the worst Dutch teams ever - only Robben and RVP were the standout players in that team - He also had to completely change the formation and tactics because of Strootman's injury and lets not forget how he changed keepers for the penalty shootout vs Costarica which proved to be a masterclass decision .
I still feel so aggrieved by that sending-off against Madrid - Fergie had out-maneuvered the opposition with spot-on tactics and then Nani had a red through an abysmal decision. I remember being surprised that Sir Alex did not turn up for the post-match, though in hindsight it was clear how much of a blow it was. It was prove his last chance - Oh what might have been...
Brilliant video though I'd also like to add that it was fitting that while City had to wait on tenterhooks till the very last seconds to win the league, United won it in cool, professional fashion with a few games to spare. Guess that happens when you're used to winning titles!
Such a bullshit decision. I was so tilted by it.
SOLID MATTIC I'm still tilted by it, I have special hate for that bastard
It was a clear red card, only United fans think it was harsh
fkbl1 it was clear red if you are a blind dumbass
@fkbl1
From your comment, I think only a few things are clear:
1. Either you did not see the incident or you are not clear about the rules regarding dismissals, perhaps even the general rules of football altogether.
2. Your attempt to paint it as simply bitterness on the part of United fans is really misguided - a bad call is a bad call and it's unfortunate when it happens to the team you support. Do United fans think it's harsh? Of course we do. Do we think it's harsh ONLY because we are United fans? Absolutely not. It was simply a bad call.
3. Further, going by your desperate attempt to look cool which you would refer to as your profile picture and the nature of your comment it seems to me that there is a very high douchebag count in your bloodstream. I might be wrong, but the evidence is pretty stellar. You might be a troll on top of that, in which case I just want to congratulate you since you've posted a negative comment on a UA-cam video which must really be the highlight of your daily routine. Well done my friend, I leave you to your ignorance and cynicism.
TL;DR - Please don't comment about United fans. Or red cards. Or football. In fact, don't say anything at all. It would suit you best :)
Basically a shite defence, shite midfield a couple of good wingers and strikers and the best manager the prem has ever seen and you have the 20th title.
Yes, I believe that was the point. Regardless of how poor United were, Manchester United still won the league with Ferguson.
Ryan Kirkpatrick but solid defensive tactics
That's why he's a true champion. He can make someone go out and kill somebody.
And could have even defeated Real Madrid if it wasn't for that questionable red.
i wish one day fergie would write a book detailing tactics he used at man u.
they conceded 3 to us (Reading) and still won 4-3 that just shows how good they were up front and how bad defensively
Gareth Gunter weren't Vidic Ferdinand and Evra still around?
They were around but in their 30s, Ferdinand was like 34
I wouldnt say they were bad defensively. Its just that they were never satisfied with anything less than a win and most of the times it came down to scoring 1 more goal than the opposition. What a manager.
@Gareth Gunter
And I recall ManUtd had a goal from v.Persie wrongly disallowed in that game for offside should've been 3-5.
But not a surprising score as both teams were bad in defence that season. One big difference was ManUtd had world class attackers. Reading conceded 7 to Arsenal didn't they in the league cup...lost from 4-0 up lol you know your defence is crap when that happens.
There's basically two types of teams. Some managers go with the odds - the less they score, less goals needed to win making it easier to outscore, managers like Fergie go full attack and outscore opponents no matter how many they concede. When implemented correctly both tactics can win you trophies. Attacking is riskier because usually worst you'll get playing defensively is draw 0-0, while failing attacking might lead to high defeats like 2-4 etc. It's important to have correct players for what you want that's why sacking managers too often leads to chaos. Ole is now struggling against teams that park the bus but he's doing well against strong opponents not afraid to attack because then he's playing defensively, getting quality up front who will break through might be just what he needs to win against mid table teams regularly.
I remember the match against real madrid. i remember that Real Madrid was scary as hell. They were one of the top teams in Europe at that time. But a damn old fekin monster called Sir Alex Ferguson proves that Manchester United can compete with anyone regardless what they are. we have a good world class player but few of them are already getting old. and combined with a young good player such as De gea , Kagawa.
But i remember we outrun varane and ramos with fekin Nani and Welbeck. Even Rafael at the first half of second leg makes a great overlap. i remember we had a great games at the first half (IMHO that is the most beautiful football that Manchester United produces in Europe in that season against top tier teams) before Nani red card.
Maybe the reason why Sir Alex didnt go the press conf. because he was devastated. Maybe he felt the same way as we felt that Manchester United can win the game. even Jose Mourinho, says "the best team lose".
Bogi Delanov mourinho was pitching for the United job he already soured his real madrid relationship by then
that real madrid had just destroyed barcelona in the copa del rey but they had a bang average season then, with mourinho falling out with casillas and many senior players, and la liga lost in september....still scary on a big night like you said
@@TheLusianPopa Manchester United had 89 points in 2012/13
Real Madrid had 85 points in 2012/13.
@@kevin-pu2lx and like i said madrid had a poor season by their standards, so that is irrelevant
It’s not just what he’s done, it’s how he’s done it. Breaking The Old Firm monopoly and making Aberdeen a serious European threat, Winning what he did with the Class of ‘92, the Treble season, winning the 2012/13 League with a squad with positional holes in it and several players in their mid-30s and pushing 40, and making 3/4 of his Champions League Finals in his last five years of management.
Greatest Manager ever!
+MultiNoNamex anyone else agree?
surely no one would disagree
I do
Bob Paisley?
Givano Petersen who is that?
Could you do Moyes tatics the year after be interesting to see a full depth analysis between fergies winning squad to moyes 7th
well that's really simple He was just shit
This is what I mean though, Everyone says "oh he was shit" "clueless blah blah blah ect" but what were his actually tactics, like this channel is really good for explaining the bigger picture. I'm a united fan but don't particular enjoy players like Lingard but after watching the video on here about him it enlightened me a bit. There is a reason Moyes played the way he did, no one goes into a job wanting to lose and I think this channel would do a really good job of A showing what Moyes wanted from this United team and B showing why it went wrong. One major flaw I remember is the game against Fulham where we just crossed the ball about 80 times, It was an awful game but I don't get why Moyes wanted us to play that way.
When marouane fellaini is your first signing You know you fucked up
rgejsv moyes mistake 1: tried to change too much too quickly.... he sacked the multiple title winning staff for his own and totally changed fitness regimes which took its toll on players like rooney giggs rvp. 2: failed to pull the trigger on many top signings hence was forced to buy fellaini as a panic. 3: he tried to impose a vision but wasn't clear on what it was so players got confused and gave them negative vibes. 4: he always set the team up not to lose while barely trying to win 5: he was unclear on how to move the ball forward and often wanted long balls and diagonal balls (hence the fulham game) and last he couldn't win over the senior players and couldn't motivate the team
rgejsv from what I've heard,p moyes pretty much had no tactics, apparently he'd say one training sessions he want players to pass it short and the next day he'd say pass it long which meant the players really had no idea what they were doing. He also lost the dressing room quite early on in the season after some pretty shit man management
Chicharito was more than influencial despite being a super sub. What a great season for United
West Brom fan here. Remember that 5-5 draw with United which ended the season; and Ferguson's reign, like it was yesterday. Was our best season in the prem.
Lukaku was very good for you guys that season!
A scouser I used to know in 2008 said “all of the other teams are just waiting for Ferguson to retire.. then everybody else will get a chance.” Since then 4 different champions in 7 years and not one of them being united. He was right. United lost the edge when they lost sir Alex
Still true to this day.
you guys have taught me too much football
He spent 375 milion euro in 7 seasons (2006-2013) and won 5 premier leagues and a champions league...Imagine how many tittles he can win with 1,1 bilion euro or almost three times bigger (money spent by united in last 7 seasons) He is really a legendary coach
Don’t forget how incredible Phil Jones was at RMFC. He man marked the crap out of Ronaldo
Biggest reason why Sir Alex is a cut above all other great managers?
Sir Alex kept on re-Inventing himself and winning. He never stopped winning. Built Aberdeen from scrap and won the European Cup Winners Cup. Built United from scrap and built 4 different world class squads. Won his last league title in 2013, and decided to call it a day. That’s what makes him the best ever.
The greatest there was, the greatest there is, the greatest there ever will be. Sir Alex Ferguson💯
I was lucky enough to be there for his final home game.
I had a Mancunian work colleague who was a season ticket holder. At the start of every season he used to ask me what games I wanted to see at Old Trafford. As he was working in London he couldn't make every home game. But he was always there for the big ones.
I'd always plump for the last pre Christmas game (assuming it wasn't against a big rival) and the final home game of the season.
He guaranteed the final home game as it was against Swansea.
With three weeks to go Sir Alex announced his retirement. Clearly that ticket he promised me was now like gold dust.
But true to his word my colleague let me and my 12 year old son have the tickets at face value. True gent he was.
Me and my son will always treasure that memory.
Thank you Rob and Thank you Sir Alex.
A rival fan but i have great respect for alex ferguson. Although he came from an era where managers were more forgiveable and given more chance to prove themselves, he remained relevant and adapted well into the new era. Hats off!
He didn't come from a more lenient era at all.
There's more avenues to succeed nowadays especially if you manage a rich club if you're not getting results you rightly lose your position. There's also no 5/6 year European ban for English clubs like Ferguson had in his early days at ManUtd which not only made it impossible to win or qualify for European competitions during that time, it also would've denied him the chance to buy very good foreign players available because the European ban was a turn off to foreign players when considering a move to England.
Even without the European ban for the first 10 years he managed ManUtd the qualfying rules were harsher only the English champions could qualify for Champions league even in a 22 team league rather than 20 teams and it was 15 years into his ManUtd managerial career that English teams could finish 4th out of 20 and qualify like it's been ever since (although he never finished as low as 4th in the PL era) but also since then another more lenient rule you can finish outside top4 but qualify for CL via winning EuropaLeague. There's definitely more avenues to get success nowadays.
Ferguson won the CupWinnersCup for ManUtd in the very first season English clubs had their European ban lifted.
Many fools count his first season as 1 of his failed seasons before he started to win things which is crazy, he joined in November with the club in 19th place impossible for them to win the league etc...
Why do you think he had more time in his era?

You were using in the Champions league Trophy when talking about the Premier league at the beginning and end of the video!
So weird because it's such a well made video with such an obvious error 😂
I don’t think Man Utd’s squad in Ferguson’s last 3 seasons in charge was that strong at all, especially the midfield. So to win 2 league titles out of 3, very nearly win the title that they missed out on, and reach a CL final during that period shows his managerial genius. Even in 2011/2012 despite blowing the 8 point lead with 6 games left, to finish with 89 points with that pretty weak squad for Man Utd’s high standards especially with Vidic completely out for the second half of the season, was actually hugely impressive.
During Ferguson’s time in charge, Man Utd had both a lower gross and net spend on transfer fees than Liverpool, despite generating significantly higher revenues. So he didn’t spend a lot of money at all relative to the club’s resources and financial power.
So cl final, 2 premier league, 89 points in 2 consecutive seasons mean that they were not good. They were great. This same team dominated real Madrid and even morinho admitted it. We had a leaky midfield but we won the league by 11 pts
And now United have easily among the biggest wage bills with nowhere near enough to show for it. This season could end up being their best since Fergie but that would be a third place finish with exciting football for once and maybe a Europa league
Crazy what a good manager Fergie was
@@Amaling its shocking that people can call Manchester United 2012 bad even though we got 89 points now we get 66
kev in exactly, i hate when people criticise Cleverley, Jones, Anderson, rafael, fabio , etc. Those players got us quite a few titles and guess how much they cost combined, not even close to Pogba’s or Lukaku’s fee. Now we’re being happy with Europa cup or top 4, smh.
@@thangchano I think a big thing overlooked is that once SAF managed to get his squad into a routine for preperation and match day behaviours the performances became automatic and the match results followed. It was all about the process the results were expected not just desired.
For example look at Michael Carrick's testimonial. The line up was made up of players from 2006-2013 the positioning, passing, general play in the first half was just like watching a match from any season of that period. The play was so well drilled and second nature that years after retirements and playing under different managers it was identical and appeared just as effective.
When SAF retired United changed not just the manager but the key coaching staff. The approach to games changed. Scholes who could not be perfectly replaced was replaced with someone who plays a totally different game. So not only the approach had changed but so had the pattern of play.
United was a formula one car being asked to do ralley time trials with a change of driver and tyres. It was not what the team was built for or where it was expected to perform.
Precision watch making equipment used by a sausage fingered clown as a hammer might be a bit harsh on Moyes, but really there are few managers who could really have taken over and maintained the prep levels and methodology. Mourinho at this time rather than later maybe. But even then he would have to content with Woodward being unable to secure a solid cm.
After this Real Madrid win vs Sir Alex, Mourinho said something along the lines "the better team didn't win today. At 11 vs 11 I doubt we would win the match."
RvP what a beast, in his prime better then Agüero , Harry Kane etc
Nobody's going to remember Aguero or Kane in 5 hears... RVP is a legend
@@WakaWaka2468 People are definitely gonna remember Aguero, he scored one of the most recognizable goals in history.
Aguero is better than rvp you idiot
I remember being so depressed the day after we got knocked out by real in the champions league. I knew that was his last season because it felt like he was going to pack his bags and leave forever, and that we would have to wait for a long time to be contenders in that competition again. Even mou himself said that the better team lost. Now when I look back at it, he was almost as good that season as in 99, a shame we couldn't go further in the champions league though.
This pisses me off to this day, we managed to draw with them at the bernabau, but in the 2nd leg the red changed the game. If it didn't happen, we would of got to at least the semis. Then we would win the final as Wembley advantage, that would of been a perfect way to see fergie send off. 4 th cl title if not for that ref
in this season mu had
71 years old Ferguson
39 years old Giggs
38 years old Scholes
33 years old Rio
32 years old Vidic
31 years old Evra
31 years old Carrick
29 years old RVP
and Jones, Smalling, Buttner, Cleverley, Anderson, Fletcher, Powell, Welbeck, Lingardinho as successor
SAF still manages to win the league with this team
He had Young and Valencia giving solid service on the wings and Wayne Rooney had an effective partnership with RVP. De Gea was also playing well in goal.
GK De Gea/ Linderguard
RB Smalling/Jones
CB Ferdinand
CB Vidic/Evans
LB Evra/Buttner
CM Carrick/Scholes/Giggs/Fletcher
CM Cleaverley/Anderson/Kagawa
RM Valencia
LM Young/Nani
St RVP/ Rooney/ Hernandez/Welbeck
The midfield depth is judged unfairly as Fletcher had a terrible problem with Crohns disease which blighted the later half of his career and stopped him playing much that season. Kagawa was underrated and underused by SAF and Moyes. Giggs and Scholes played equally well and got a good amount of games between them.
This is an underrated and solid deep squad that worked hard and played well for each other.
I just realized this was also the start of English decline in UCL. Ferguson's decision to prioritize Everton over Real Madrid, that showed how much of a battle royale, the Premier League is.
It's a bit weird to talk of an English decline in the UCL when the current champions are English and the last final featured two English teams.
@@jmckendry84 I can understand why English teams knocked out of last 16 2012/13. Arsenal lost on away goals to Bayern Munich. Manchester United came first in their group but was very unlucky to face real. Better team lost. If we had luck, we would of gone at least semis.
@@jmckendry84 and here we are again.Only one english club remain i.e man city .Can't see them winning it
jmckendry84 it was quite the shit streak before the LFC Madrid final though
@@kevin-pu2lx Because you didnt have Liverpool 🤷♂️ Only Liverpool can lift the England up in UCL not Man UTD . Liverpool are true Champions of England in UCL 😁 Man UTD only make England slower in UCL
RVP was amazing that season. It seemed almost all his goals were candidates for goals of the season.
Indeed. It was sad to see how he was neglected after SAF retired.
It was a real blessing watching Man Utd in those days. Their brand of football...the goals...the players...the manager. Don't think we'll ever see that MUtd again. Been watching them since I was a teenager and I was always confident they would score...
How he won the premiership with that team proves he is the best manager ever
I've always wished these particular videos were an hour long. They're so good. I watched this when it was a month old and I'll keep nipping back every few years.
Great video.
Finally someone actually made a video about this!
I’m a Milan fan and it literally gives me goosebumps every time I hear that speech, loved Sir Alex Ferguson
Simply the goat.
goat? are you a shepard, or a perv?
I was at that game against Swansea, the only game I’ve ever had the luck to attend, and the best I think I ever will have
My cousins Grandparents worked alongside him in Aberdeen and Man United!!
good for them
Goes to show you just how good Sir Alex is at winning! He would’ve won easily with Pep’s city of last season.
Fantastic art style btw!
Paco Piedad he would have won with United squad last season. He makes Ashley Young play like Rooney and Ronaldo
m6500 d1 200 my point is that ManCity last season was very similar to SAF’s last squad, except (though I hate to admit it) better. Which shows just how much more effective Ferguson is in utilizing his team compared to Guardiola
@@pacopiedad6182 different tactics.. incomparable.. SAF cant pull a tiki taka, neither pep do SAF tactics.. there a types of manager, one is that came with a certain solid tactics and 2nd is adapting to whatever players and games he had on the job.. the 2nd one is usually managers that signed in january or to save from relegation etc etc..
SAF and mourinho is more of a 2nd, while pep is a solid 1st..

Greatest manager ever coming from an Arsenal fan!
Please leave. We dont need you.
I agree. Arsenal fan too.
Best manager of all time. From an arsenal fan. There’s no question. He was so good
Whos watching this on 2019? Im crying..😞
Sir alex is the GOAT of managers to achieve constant success with little spending and with average players is exceptional,
never moaned about not getting his first choice targets never moaned about lack of spendings and certainly never moaned and criticized his own players he made the likes of Wes brown , Park ji sung , Welbeck , Anderson and so many more look world class at times.
Ima city fan, but sir alex i believe is the greateat ever. UNITED WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
MOE money we will show u at the end of the season and in the derby
m6500 d1 200 are you sure about that?
m6500 d1 200 You'll park the bus and it'll be 0-0
MOE money We'll see. Jose Mourinho is an absolute dinosaur. But what he is, also, a WINNER.
Van Persie acquisition was a master move. He was used specifically to win the league for SAF final season by scoring important goals.
Liverpool fan here. Sir alex the greatest ever no one comes close. Pep fruadiola, mourinho, ancelotti dont even come close.
Only shankly, paisley and sir Matt Busby are worth a shout.
Niv Football you just have to listen to the city players talk about Guardiola, listen to the attitude he has instilled in the club to know that he's a brilliant manager. Attitude, team spirit, everyone knowing their job is why it's now 18 wins on the bounce
3 Scots
ancelotti is underrated IMO
guardiola too, i seriously doubt he could win the PL with this 12/13 squad man utd had..
That same fraudiola defeated SAF 2 times in the ucl final mate
Sam There is a kind blip because of the truckload of money from selling Coutinho, but Liverpool has been EARNING money on the transfer market. Liverpool punch far above their weight when it comes to either net purchases or salaries, separately, or combined. People who want to complain about Klopp and money should buy a Spurs jersey.
As a fan of Man. United it was pretty awesome to see them concede 1 - 2 goals going to half time and then scoring 2 -3 goals in the 2nd half.
Sir Alex is a don. From a fellow Scot
Oh boy, I remember that Madrid game like it was yesterday. It still hurts...
As a city fan it was hard to cave in and get this out of my recommendation. YOU HAPPY NOW UA-cam?
Poaching Van perse was a masterclass. VPS best 2 seasons in his career. Last one at arsenal and first at utd.
Incredible how bad they were the following year with essentially the same roster. I think Van Persie was injured most of the season but it truly showed the difference between Sir Alex and a random aaa clown like David Moyes at the helm. Everyone assumed once Ronaldo left that United would severely fall off but it wasn’t the case at all. Made it to the champions league final again in 2010-11 only to lose to what I consider the greatest club team ever.. the 2009-2012 Barcelona team which had Xavi and Iniesta at their prime, arguably Messi’s best ever years along with David Villa and Pedro completing the front 3... if not for that amazing Pep Guardiola side I think United would have won champions league again
True if Guardiolas Barcelona didn't exist, united would have 5 cl titles. And if we weren't so unlucky to face real Madrid in last 16, considering the fact that we came 1st in our group and the number of teams that we were eligible to play against then we would of made it at least the semis
@@kevin-pu2lx That's happened 3 times faced RMadrid in knockout after topping the group 1999/00, 2002/03 & 2012/13.
As a united fan when ever I watch a video about SAF I always start to cry.I didn't even cry when my grandfather died...
That season SAF knew he can't rely on his defense and also he lost the previous season title to goal difference, so he bought the best striker in the league to ensure that won't happen again.
Say whatever you like about the man, he is a dinosaur, but a very dangerous one. He can make a title winning team with shitty defense and crappy midfield. Give the same team to Pep or Klopp, will they get same result??
no.. these two had certain tactics that wont work with mere quality.. klopp before van djik and city before ederson and laporte are easy example..
That "shitty defence" still scored more combined than I can recall ManUtd defenders scoring in other seasons maybe apart from when Steve Bruce or DenisIrwin used to take pens.
It was also a midfield which probably had the most amount of different midfield goalscorers in 2012/13.
The weaknesses in this side took United years to fix and I am not sure those weaknesses have been fixed
RvP!
A Red forever!
Miss Rvp badly
I miss watching man.united best team in the world win again
It really showed how the Glazer have taken the piss, if United had been spending close to their rivals since they had taken over they's be a lot stronger when he left.
Truly the greatest of all time
thats the UCL trophy
Deveshan Govender Exactly. They couldn’t differentiate between both trophies 😂😂
+Deveshan Govender man Utd have won so many we were spoilt for choice - Danny
just something i picked up ... keep at the great videos Umaxit
Tifo Football 2 isn't "So many". Your videos consistently have sloppy editing and some downright embarrassing drawings of people.
Dave Weston they do a great job overall, chill
I don't know how to explain this as a casual follower, but it always seemed like Ferguson at all times knew how his players could grow within the team over the years. He knew how to mold them too, and as a Korean, I saw how much Park grew as a player in MU.
i thought pretty much anyone could win a title with man utd then came moyes and the other managers and they didnt win it either making him a greater manager than i already thought he was
Absolutely LOVING the new animation style.
+TheUltimate Gooner cheers my man! - Danny
Ironically, this was Fergie's 'Wilkinson Leeds' title, a squad that clearly wasn't the best managed to perfection.
I always remember Manchester United Champion that years same with my birthday 22 April.
Dad: "Why are you crying so damn loud?"
Undoubtedly the greatest manager of all time.
Fergie was planning to retire at the end of the 11-12 season if United had managed to win the league as he really the current squad was coming close to the end of it's cycle and wanted to go out on a high, luckily due to VP's goals and managing to squeeze one more good season out of his players he won it in 12-13. But it was obvious by what happened to Moyes, that he wasn't going to be able to do the same and the over 30s club/Fergie Favourites weren't going to give him enough time to rebuild properly. Only signing Mata and Felliani (who ironically have both proven to be good signings as they are still there now and involved in the team regularly) was not enough. If Mourinho can win the League this season having inherited players from Fergie, Moyes and LVG as well as blending in his own signings into the team, it will really show what a great manager he is. If he can then bring that 4th European Cup to add to the Europa League before he goes off to his next project, he will go down as one of United's legends. Either way it's nice to be genuine challengers again rather than competing for a Top 4 position and a cup competition on the side. (We'll leave that kind of thing to the Goons)
Doubtful if they will win the league this season, they're currently 4/1 with the bookies while City are 2/5, which seems about right. Absolutely no chance of winning the Champions League.
This really didnt age well
Thanks for the memories, sir Alex 🛬🛫🛫🛫
"I'm a winner" he said, just before leaving the squad worse than the one he inherited. :D
still won the league with that team.. Cleverly, Evans, Jones, Smalling, Rafael, Welbeck, etc... made average players perform at their best.
So..? He won 13 titles.. he is a winner.
@@valdimarz Evans was never average except maybe when he was a youth player. Not world class but been a top premier league centre back for a decade. United should've got rid of Phil Jones long before Evans
dont watch my tv anymore just sit and watch this channel a must for football fans
After 27 years as manager Man United has had 3 different managers since Fergie left.
That's sad.
Actually 4 (5 if you count giggsy interim)
This season proved, undoubtedly for me, that he really was the best manager of all time in the Premier League. And in contention for all time
Like you said, he engineered it. He won it at all costs, breaking his transfer policy of not buying older players (van persie 29) and leaving David moyes with the worst utd squad in years. Losing players like Paul pogba for next to nothing and having to buy him back for 100 million. His legacy of an awful squad was down to his desperation to end by winning the league. It might have been a great win, but at what cost.
I really wanna meet sir. Ferguson one day and got to Manchester United home show.
This is the season o started watching united for the first time. Been watching a crap team for 6 years ever since. Atleast I can say I saw my team win the league. Most liverpool fans can't say that right now.
B Rabbit I started watching livpool first time after 12/13 season and atleast i saw us winning a champion league
@@Aryal-yv6bu weird flex but ok

This made me cry❤️❤️❤️
Hey,could you please talk about the importance of De Gea and Pogba for United on your next podcast?
De Gea isn't integral to how Utd. Play... He's just a shot-stopper, admittedly a very talented one, but the team would concede only a few more goals without him.
Oliver Archangeli No,but his talent alone saves us on many occasions.
As an Arsenal fan, I hated this season especially because ManUtd grabbed plenty of late winners. But as a fan of football in general, this season has aged well on me and it highlights just how well Ferguson got the absolute best out of his players. Just consider the current fates of many players on that squad and u get an idea of what I'm trying to say.
Every time your mouth is dripping with saliva talking about Pep, Allegri, Zidane, Klopp, Heinkes, Ancelotti, Hitzfeld, Capello, Wenger and even Mourinho, Lippi, Cruyff, Sacchi, watch his video and watch it again.
They are the ones who made a difference. Only to blinkered Brits Ferguson belongs in that list. He doesn't.
@@vikramsid Clueless football "fan". You're probably just 15 years old at most. Name a manager who tactically adapted and engineered constant success for a club in over a period of 27 years.
supersbbrawl4ever pep creates arguably the greatest side of all time though. The Barca squad between 09-13
cruyff and SAF are the best managers of all time in my opinion
He left knowing financially he couldn’t cope with the other teams, no doubt the goat manager
Matteo tactics to win The champions league pls
SI S The tactics was that Jesus was on their side. I’ve never seen such a fortunate Champions League campaign.
Bayern should’ve won actually, if Robben had scored that penalty, things would’ve been different..
I've seen actually such a fortunate UCL campaign, Man Utd in 1999.
Kopite I’m sure Chelsea were more fortunate when they faced Barcelona and then Bayern Munich and both of those ties both teams missed penalties and golden opportunities to win the games. Chelsea had Jesus on their side. The only luck United had was when they scored 2 stoppage time goals against Munich
Kopite Yes because making it out of a group of Bayern and Barcelona, going on to play Inter, Juve and then Bayern in the final was a doddle. Oh and this was after winning the FA Cup and the League.
You remember winning the league right? Pure cakewalk right?
Not a united fan but loved SAF, great video! This was really well dome
Fergie really is the greatest manager in football history.
That last Utd team was so good and yet so poor all at the same time playing vs Madrid and arguably dominating
Same could be said the next year under Moyes vs Bayern I just wish Fergie had had 5 more years in him to seee where we would be now
Van Persie was always a good buy, even at the time!! come on - Van Persie was the most wanted in the premier league!! City wanted him too. dosent that tell you he was in demand
Why have you written that all over this page????
It was very insightful video of Sir Alex's last season.
