Manchester United 2-1 Barcelona, 1991 European Cup Winners' Cup Final

With the five-year ban on English clubs' participation in European club competition lifted in 1990, Fergie had his first crack at Europe in charge of Manchester United. He didn't do too badly in that first season back, beating Johan Cruyff's Barcelona in the Cup Winners' Cup final to become only the second manager – along with Cruyff – to lift the trophy twice.

Moyes Out!!! Sack David Moyes says Fergie

Manchester United have been going from bad to worse since David Moyes took over. After a dull, awful 2-0 defeat to Olympiakos in the Champions League, David Moyes can chalk up another unwanted blemish against his name - Manchester United's first competitive loss to a Greek side.

The Class of '92 DVD - The players that inspired a generation is a cinematic documentary detailing the rise to prominence and global sporting superstardom of six supremely talented young Manchester United footballers (David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil and Gary Neville). The film covers the period 1992-1999, culminating in Manchester United's European Cup triumph, and dramatically interweaves and mirrors the highs and lows of its football odyssey with the immense social and cultural changes taking place in Britain at the time. At the heart of this film is the tale of how six 14-year-old working class lads from diverse backgrounds came together to play for the same club, became the spine of the most lauded team in world football, and who throughout their period of unparalleled success remained best mates. The film has the unique distinction of having secured unprecedented access to all six players gains new and revealing insights about each individual and this special period in British football and cultural history along with fantastic archive footage. In addition, there are numerous other high profile interviewees including Zinedine Zidane, Tony Blair, Mani from the Stone Roses, Eric Cantona and Danny Boyle.

End of an Era - Fergie lifts trophy on farewell

Alex Ferguson lifts the Premier League trophy on his Old Trafford farewell after seeing his Manchester United side win 2-1 against Swansea in his last home game as manager

He was greeted with applause and cheering as the crowd waved masses of red flags when he walked on to the pitch before kick-off

Alex Ferguson's emotional speech
"My retirement doesn't mean the end of my life with the club. I will be able to now enjoy watching them, rather than suffer with them. But if you think about the last-minute goals, the comebacks, even the defeats, are all about this great club of ours. It's been an unbelievable experience for all of us. So thank you for that."

"You the fans have always stood by me and your job now is to stand by our new manager."

"I want to pay tribute to Paul Scholes who retires today. He is an unbelievable player, one of the greatest players this club will ever have."

"I have been able to manage some of the greatest players in the country. All of these players today have represented the club in the proper way. They have won the championship in fantastic fashion. Well done to the players. I wish the players every success for the future. You know how good you are, the jersey you are wearing, and all the people here. Don't let yourselves down."

After leaving the pitch Alex Ferguson said, "I was bubbling there for a bit. All those flags, the atmosphere today was unbelievable the whole game. I'm proud of my fans today."

The Man - The Legend.
Sir Matt Busby closed his reign at Old Trafford when he was 62. Bill Shankly left Liverpool at the age of 60. Bob Paisley lasted at Anfield until he was 64. Brian Clough was 58 when he left. Alex Ferguson is 71, with a pacemaker in his chest and a hip replacement coming soon, yet we are still shocked at him leaving the great game.

With a total of 49 trophies collected over the years, Sir Alex Ferguson has a managerial record that will never be surpassed.

Manchester United Celebrate their 20th Champions Title

Manchester United won the Premier League title in style on Monday night with a hat-trick from star striker Robin van Persie sealing a 3-0 win and a 20th championship.

Manchester United defender Patrice Evra celebrates the title triumph by biting a fake arm to mock Luis Suarez. Haha!!

It is Manchester United's 13th title in 21 Premier League seasons under Sir Alex Ferguson.
"I feel 10 years younger after that," said Alex Ferguson after the game.

Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick celebrate in style.

20th Premier League title and the cup is back home once again

Glory glory Man united, Glory glory Man united, Glory glory Man united, As the reds go marching on on on!

Just like the Busby Babes in days gone by, We'll keep the red flags flying high, Your gonna see us all from far and wide, Your gonna hear the masses sing with pride.

United, Man united, We're the boys in red and we're on our way to Wembley!

Manchester United sit 13 points clear at the top of the table, bookmakers have paid out on them regaining their crown and victory tonight against Aston Villa will see them officially take the title - but Alex Ferguson has something more to play for tonight, and for the rest of the season.

With five games of the season left, United have 81 points and need 15 more to break the record of 95 which was set by Chelsea in 2004/05. A strong finish to the season will also see them pass their own Premier League era record of 92.

"If we get to 96 points I'd be absolutely delighted," said the Manchester United manager. "That would be a fantastic season."

Come on UNITED!!!

Alex Ferguson asserts Manchester United's potential to lift treble

Can Manchester United win the Treble again?

Alex Ferguson has it on his mind. This is what he said yesterday:

"The way to look at it is that we've got great games coming up. It will be really exciting going to Madrid and having them here. There's the FA Cup tie at home to Fulham. It's a brilliant period for the club. This is exactly the situation you want to be in, involved in everything. FA Cup, league, European Cup. Absolutely brilliant. And we've got the squad to do it. If you go back to the year we won the treble we got a replay against Chelsea and won there 2-0. We got a replay against Arsenal. The FA Cup's the FA Cup. You expect the unexpected, but you also want to win it because its a great competition."

Patrice Evra also believes that Manchester United are good enough to win the Premier League, Champions League and the FA Cup this season.

"I'm really confident this year, because we've won against City, we've won against Chelsea, we've won against Arsenal, now we've beaten Liverpool twice. For our confidence, you couldn't get much better."

Sir Alex the Great

The statue of Alex Ferguson stands proudly outside the stand named after the great manager

Ronaldo return to Manchester United a 'Christmas wish' for Alex Ferguson

The Portuguese star claimed to be unhappy earlier this season but his former manager at the Red Devils has jokingly described a return to Old Trafford as nothing more than a hope.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has stated that he would love to bring former star Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford but that it is nothing more than "a Christmas wish."

Ronaldo spent six years at Old Trafford under Ferguson, winning the Champions League and was named the 2008 Ballon d'Or winner.

Ronaldo admitted recently that he misses Alex Ferguson and described him as his "father in football".

It's Fergie Time Again

What time is it Fergie?

Alex Ferguson salutes the Stretford End at Old Trafford

Alex Ferguson rewards the Old Trafford faithful with an extravagant bow towards the Stretford End, as they roared out their delight at seeing Manchester United wrap up a record 19th title.

Alex Ferguson names Law as hero

Alex Ferguson has named Denis Law, Muhammad Ali and John F Kennedy among the people he most admires.

Sir Alex said Denis Law - the King of the Stretford End, was his hero growing up, as the pugnacious centre-forward epitomised everything good about Scottish football.

Only Denis Law and Eric Cantona have reached the status 'King of the Stretford End' among the United faithful. The former for his formidable goal record, and now Denis Law has his own statue on the Stretford End, the latter for his on-pitch charisma and aura.

D-Day!!!

Manchester City, the FA Cup holders, flying high with money to burn in the transfer window. Fergie on the ropes with a depleted squad and injuries building up. This game takes on monumental stakes as the battle for supremacy in Manchester marches on.

Alex Ferguson's Stretford End Banner

The Impossible Dream, Made Possible

The 72-metre long banner, which cost £3,600 to make and was funded by donations from United fans, covers the full width of Old Trafford's Stretford End.

The banner depicts Ferguson and the 37 major trophies he has won during his remarkable quarter of a century reign at Manchester United.

It continues a long tradition of celebratory banners to be unveiled at Old Trafford by the Stretford End flags group, including tributes to the victims of the 1958 Munich air disaster, and several famous dedications to playing heroes such as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ryan Giggs and George Best.

Alex Ferguson Stand

Manchester United legend David Beckham has hailed Alex Ferguson as the greatest manager in football following his 25th anniversary at the Old Trafford helm.

Ferguson celebrated a quarter of a century in charge of United on November 6th 2011, and has won the support and praise of players past and present.

The club also paid special tribute to Ferguson, by renaming the North Stand in his honour and unveiling plans to erect a statue to stand outside the stadium.
