Wtf? A monster? A GENIUS and the greatest football manager EVER!!! I’m american and we have had some great coaches in basketball baseball football and hockey but they, in my opinion, don’t compare to Sir Alex “ The Greatest Ever”. You never miss anyone until they are gone.

[@spudson60fps35]

Atleast you dont call ut soccer.oh waittt

[@spudson60fps35]

Sir alex is the greatest.

[@mikedevaney3507]

I understand his point on the world class players. He's Had loads of amazing players both those 4 could have walked into any team in the world

[@joelshevlin7939]

I was shocked that he didn’t put Rooney on to be honest. He was a great servant for United over a long period of time.

[@adeschannel7435]

@@joelshevlin7939 Scholes & Ronaldo were the best of those 4 players. For me, Scholes was the most gifted.

[@chxrno8711]

Problem was, there were many more that could have walked into any team. Keane, Ruud, Rooney, Beckham to name a few.

"we never were negative, we never went out to not lose a game" ole has left the chat. jose has left the chat louis has left the chat. david has left the chat.

[@juanerasosarasty9733]

Sir alex is the best manager ever, and I don't think to have an argument about this

[@lindah925]

To not include Roy Keane was petty. He was a world class player and a game changer and did it tirelessly for 12 1/2 years.

[@invernessfan3017]

He did a good job as manager of Aberdeen FC, in Scotland.

[@elioavila7261]

Honest !!

[@CrackSmokinSally]

"We never went out to *not lose a game*" ?

[@youpie24]

a double negative, a giveaway clue of a saxon language.

[@joelshevlin7939]

It means his players went out to win. They never went out and thought ‘let’s not lose this game’.

[@barrykacher7761]

His Paul Reid impersonation is spot on. Nae doot aboot tha.

How I wish I could go back to Sep 23 15

[@mikedevaney3507]

A monster is probably just what people called him that were there that couldn't understand his will to win
