Sir Alex Ferguson
The Golden Era
Manchester United entered their golden era from the mid-1980s to the early 2010s. This era is otherwise known as the Sir Alex Ferguson Era, United’s best manager in their history. When Sir Alex Ferguson arrived in 1986, he had struggled initially with the club. This is to be expected, as he had a big personality, with players needing to adjust to the type of manager he was. In 1990, success began. United won the FA Cup, followed by the 1993 Premier League title, which was the first league title they had won in 26 years.[7]

The Treble consisted of winning their domestic league, the Premier League, their domestic tournament, the FA Cup, and the European tournament, the Champions League. It solidified them as the best club in the world, beating every other powerful club in Europe. Throughout the Sir Alex Ferguson Era, he managed many players who went on to achieve legendary status for the club, country, and the sport. A few are Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Eric Cantona, Robbie Keane, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Wayne Rooney. After achieving everything there is to achieve within club soccer, Sir Alex Ferguson Retired in 2013, leaving an unmatched legacy at Manchester United and on the rest of the world.
