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 .

[@jr5034]

Mourinho never had any control over the transfer or over which players he wanted to play, and the club supported the players who threw him under the bus, SAF had to deal with all of this, show why he is a great, and the problem is growing at man utd

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.

In terms of which United team was better between the Treble winners and the 08 UCL winners in a head to head match, even though I think the 08 team is undoubtedly the more talented team, the one thing they miss is that midfield enforcer and true leadership figure on the pitch in the mould of Roy Keane. The Treble winners would eke out a win in a game in which they were second best. Both teams will forever be in my heart. One made me a United fan and the other gave me some of the best football related memories in my life, both born out of the brilliance of the great man himself. With the recent passing of Sir Bobby, it makes me dread even more the day when he will be gone too.
