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

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.

United Review: Once in a lifetime experience!
It's an award-winning tourist destination, a magnificent stadium, an interesting day out and home to the most successful team in English football.
The stadium tour is excellent. It starts in the trophy room (which is obviously very full) and museum, your guide then leads you inside the 'Theatre of Dreams' to take in the awe-inspiring view of the England's second biggest stadium in all its glory. There are plenty of photo ops aside the pitch here. You then head down to pitchside where you can sit in the dugout a-la Sir Alex, before heading back outside to learn a bit more about United's moving and romantic history as you walk beneath the Munich clock and through the tunnel to take the players' entrance. This leads you into the players' lounge and then the changing rooms where you can have your photo taken aside your favourite player's shirt. Then it's time for food in the great Red Cafe, and obviously the tour ends in the megastore where you can fill your boots with Manchester United logo-emblazoned anything.

I would 8-2 be an Arsenal fan
Manchester United 8 Arsenal 2: Crushed and humiliated! Wenger in crisis as Rooney runs riot
Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick and his hair is stunning!
Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley says his young Premier League leaders are full of self-belief after their stunning start to the season. Cleverley, who is keeping more illustrious names on the bench with his sustained excellence in central midfield, said the 8-2 mauling of Arsenal at the weekend showed just what Alex Ferguson's fresh-faced side are capable of achieving.
"It's a pleasure to play in a performance like that, with world-class players. I see in training that we have it in our locker. When it all comes together, it's pretty exciting. We're a young, high-energy team and, hopefully, if we keep putting on performances like that, the trophies will come." Tom Cleverley.
