come on, for the vast majority of his reign he had the #1 budget in England. He had most domestic success during an era where England was absolutely terrible in Europe and at best the 4th best league. The best team before that (Liverpool) was in shambles. Soon as Arsenal then Chelsea got their act together he won only 1 BPL in 5 years. That first period is comparable to Lyon in the 2000s or Bayern last decade. On top of that he was blessed with a crop of young talent that hasnt been rivaled since in the English game and wasnt replicated by himself either. His biggest achievement is actually the latter part of his career between 2007-2013. These 5 titles were won when the BPL was the #1 (2007 - 2008) and #2 (2009-2013) league in Europe, and he combined it with European success. However one shouldnt forget that United was absolutely destroyed by Barça twice. Ferguson was a great manager but to be in the conversation with the likes of Pep or Carlo he needed more European success.

[@DCM94UK]

[@morlath4767]

@@Hoolzz SAF basically brought the 4-2-3-1 into English football when everyone was playing Four-Four-F*cking-Two. Sir Alex always had a withdrawn striker/False nine (Cantona, McClair, Hughes) dropping between the wingers with two midfielders alternating between going forward and holding. When the Class of 92 showed up and they won the treble, he was playing an asymetric 4-2-3-1 with Neville as the right winger because Beckham would often pass from deeper (the attacking RB position), Giggs either going to the byline for a cross while the wing-back Irwin cut in, or him cutting in while Irwin took the width, Keane holding more often than not unless there was a break on, Scholes being the playmaker/scorer next to him, and Cole and Yorke alternating who was the False 9 and who pushed up. He then tried moving to a straight 4-3-3/pure 4-2-3-1 (1 striker, 1 AM) in 2001 by buying Veron, 3 years before Mourinho "brought the 4-3-3 to England." And the 2008 League + Champions League double was one using a mix of 4-3-3, a funky asymetric version, and the insane 4-2-1-3 hybrid of the two. The man was constantly shifting his tactics and players around. He shut Barcelona down over two legs for the 08 victory. The big difference between him and Pep regarding tactics is that Sir Alex preferred letting the players play, compared to Pep's obsession with controlling the game and micromanaging every position and player movement.

[@robthomas3968]

I find it laughable that people say sir Alex didn’t use tactics haters

[@Spencer_Hewins]

I know. Stretford Paddock had the former youth development and United senior coach on talking about the in and out of possession styles they used. Even Gary Neville was explaining how they would just go into a back 3 when either him or Evra over/underlapped with the wingers. Just a small example but SAF basically allowed his coaches to teach a lot of what they wanted to do tactically during training. Think it's simply because tactics really started to become the cool thing these last few years but meanwhile nobody talks about Carlo tactics either and that guy can't stop winning things.

Beyond laughable to the point people to this day still say United played a 4-4-2 in the 90's because they couldn't see or understand United used a 4-4-1-1 utilising players like Hughes, Cantona and Yorke as "9 1/2's" as his own unique way of adapting Italian trequartista's for British football.

[@randysatrya]

Tactically speaking, Ferguson always build partnership of 2 players or more on the field. You may see it but rarely understand it. Beckham - Gary Neville are a right side overlap combination. Its Gary job to make sure Beckham always have room for crosses. Scholes-Carrick also a solid partnership example. Carrick is the one who protects Scholes so he can rule the game freely. Cole and Yorke is telepathic duo. Scholes and Keane combo is unbeaten against any 4-4-2. Scholes-Cantona, Rio-Vidic, Nistelrooy-Beckham, Nistelrooy-Scholes, and finally trio Cristiano-Rooney-Teves can secure 2nd Champions League medal for him. Thats why he can always survive when a player leave, even Superstar player. because he still maintain other partnership combination setup on the field to make sure the team doesnt lose identity. thats why Ferguson doesnt have tactic named after him. because he micromanaging his team tactic.

I was born in 85, and grew up with him managing my club united. Boy what an experience, I learned so much from Fergie's phenomenal character, he was basically my unofficially adopted father. Footballers are pretty bad role models these days, but Fergie was THE ULTIMATE ROLE MODEL. Everything about him was pure class, and he was a joy to beholden.

I might be wrong, but there's no other manager who received as much respect by his own players as Fergie did... even not only from his own dressing room... true living legend, man with simple clarity and vision of what he wants to do... footy genious

[@Miracle007]

Simply the goat of manager. Pep and Jm come after. But i doubt Pep could do this with a lesser club. He always come at the top club at the top league. Wish can see him make it with smaller club like SAF did with Aberdeen and JM with Porto. They both are simply genius and out of the world.

So, so lucky to have watched the club under Alex from start to finish. An incredible journey I will be ever thankful for...when you get days in the sun whichever club you follow, enjoy every single moment, never get too complacent about winning, because all dynasties come to an end. Clued up scousers know just how good he was, just like clued up United fans know how good Shanks and Paisley were. There's great rivalries and then there's an appreciation of just how good certain managers were and are.

[@dondamon4669]

Will always be considered the greatest manager of all time and I can't see it changing. Some people falsely say Pep but he took over a Barcelona side with Messi and best players in the world players that were brought up on Cruyff's style and also doped up we know now against us in the finals, then the same with Bayern but he pretty much failed there and at Man city cheating once again even though they were already a winning club with the best players in the world, he has players that can play any position, I believe any decent football fan can do the same things Pep do and until he takes a mid table club like Ferguson did with Aberdeen and Manchester United he will never be compared to Ferguson apart from by young highlight watching stat obsessed social media following football fans but any real supporter who understands the difference in the work they had to put in will know. Ferguson managed and looked after the whole club, had to look after every player, tactics and coaching though he delegated last ten years, and keot every player motivated. All Pep does is say go play good and doesn't even have to man manage as he has so many players and can just sell and buy a player who is unhappy and his whole style is based on Cryuffs and its still not as exciting as Fergusons style of direct attacking, always passing forward, wingers,crossing,aggressive,risky,and never giving in and the way adapted over the years and changed his team is what makes him the best just look at Klopp he couldnt do it or handle it on the pitch or off it and he hardly won anything and if United manager would be considered a failure! Also premiership teams don't bother trying against Man City and just write the game off and get rest but in Europe teams do so City fail there. By far the greatest manager of all time

[@thesoultwins72]

@dondamon4669.......Spot on mate! Man Utd in their prime, were simply unplayable.

[@loganm.s.z2227]

'Also premiership teams don't bother trying against Man City and just write the game off' that quote seems so true , when united where under Sir Alex everyone wanted to beat them , didn't kevin keegan have a rant about that. the only teams who care to beat city are maybe the top 6 sides

Regardless if you love or hate the man, there's no denying that it was purely due to his relentless drive for success that made United's dominance for 2 decades.

Looking at Pep now reminds me so much Sir Alex, on how to stay consistent and achieve success year after year?

He inherited Gordon Strachan one of Scotlands greatet ever players, Bobby Robson one of United best ever players, The 92 Youth Team, Eric Cantona somehow from Leeds, Peter Schmichel on a bargain thanks to his scouts and when he screwed up and sold Beckham who was United's best player they played Sporting and came across one of the greatest players of all time. He is very fortunate in his career which is inflated by all of that. Tactically he was average, man management was okay until he got in his bad books, often just sat on the sidelines watching like he was a fan.

[@aryan-yi7nc]

Sounds like youre a hater mate, anyway keep crying and hoping. This average tactician and ok man manager and very fortunate man and this guy that often watched as a fan is the most successful manager ever and ruined your childhood so much and caused you so much pain and trauma that you still hate him 11 years after his retirement. Truly the GOAT. And please tell me who hired those scouts of his? Oh wait... he did and he got the class of 92 at the club dear. He didnt inherit them. Also youre trying so hard and desperately to make him look bad but all youre doing is nothing but embarrassing yourself and looking like a try hard hater and thats worst than a normal hater and i wished i was fortunate enough to win 49 trophies in a 35 year long career and ik you would too jealous try hard hater boy in pain

[@arjunsunil05]

The thing about Sir Alex is that he don't have a particular identity like Cruyff's total football or Gaurdiola's tiki-taka or Klopp's Gegen pressing. He just adapted to whatever situation he had in front of him. And for this particular reason, people just say he had a weak tactical awareness compared to some other greats. This is wrong. In fact, he had the best understanding of this game, only paralleled by few managers. Sir Alex wasn't just a head coach. He managed an entire club.

Ferguson adapted to the game tactical requirement while adding his interpersonal touch and make players give 150%. That is what he does in a nutshell. He is always outmaneuvered by new tactic revolutionaries like Wenger and Mourinho but ended up winning against them by adapting to how they play.

[@assemcrghannam5920]

Why am i crying ? This man is irreplaceable

[@AurioDK]

When I coached the boys here in Odense some 30 years ago I didn´t have any tactics, nothing preset, no defined approach. Instead I took a look at each and every single player, tried to assess their strengths, their favored style of play and made my "tactical approach" based on what I had to work with, that includes those I deemed to be reserves. I was only there for one season due to personal reasons, had to move. In that season I employed a 3-6-1 which won us the league. Too many managers out there wanting a certain style play which doesn´t suit their current squad at all. But I know, coaching juniors isn´t exactly the same as a top flight challenge.

[@gaydolfbitler]

That's the best way to win junior football. Stacked midfield and a quick striker. The defense doesn't matter because if they bypass the midfielders they score almost 99% of the time unless you're playing a 5 at the back.
