Who is Manchester United’s most successful manager ever? There are many debates between fans in the history of football but not about this – Sir Alex Ferguson. He came to United in 1986 and left in 2013 with 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and two UEFA Champions League titles. But the manner in which he left is a topic for another debate, started by Gary Lineker and picked up by Rio Ferdinand. Former England striker made an interesting comment, blaming the famous manager for the start of United’s decline, provoking a reply from one of Fergie’s loyal ’captains’.’Sir Alex left as soon as he realized the club was in decline’After leaving in 2013 with a title, Ferguson retired and United hasn’t won a title since, and sitting currently in the 14th place with all sorts of problems, it doesn’t look like they will do it anytime soon. Lineker used Liverpool as the example contrary to United, which surely left many Manchester fans even more furious.“If you look at Liverpool now, they’ve got a new manager in Arne Slot, and it’s testament to how Jurgen Klopp left the club in a really good state. So the structure is really good That probably wasn’t the case at the end of Sir Alex Ferguson’s time at Old Trafford. I know they won the league that season, but it wasn’t their best side, and a lot of their great players were coming to the end of their careers. I think from there they had problems. The academy wasn’t delivering the players that they were before“ he said on BBC.Even United’s all-time top scorer isn’t safe – Amorim slams Rooney!Ruben Amorim was appointed in November, is the seventh full-time manager of the club since Ferguson’s incredible tenure in 2013. United have not been involved in a title race, nor reached the latter stages of the Champions League since the Scots’ exit. But Rio Ferdinand doesn’t agree with Lineker or with other pundits who continued the debate.“Average age of the squad Sir Alex left was 26.6 years old. Blend of youth and experience. Our attacking players were… Rooney (27), RVP (29), Chicharito (25), Welbeck (22), Zaha (20), Nani (26), Ashley Young (27), Lingard (20), Kagawa (24), Valencia (27), Januzaj (18)“ he wrote on X.Evra blames himself and Ferguson for Man United’s turbulence, questions Ten HagHe also shared the photos of United’s team and added ’19 international players’ before posting a table of United’s net spend of 1.27 billion euros which was the highest of several European clubs since the 2014-15 season.“P.S. we won the league by 11 points. Since then the recruitment have been poor. But I’ve read over the last few days it’s The Boss fault. What a load of nonsense“ he wrote.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – ROUND OF 16First legTuesday 20.45: (2.85) Club Brugge (3.25) Aston Villa (2.55)23.00: (1.80) Dortmund (3.60) Lille (4.60)23.00: (3.80) PSV (3.45) Arsenal (2.00)23.00: (1.87) Real Madrid (3.50) Atl.Madrid (4.20)Wednesday 20.45: (5.60) Feyenoord (3.70) Inter (1.65)23.00: (1.82) Bayern (3.60) Leverkusen (4.40)23.00: (3.80) Benfica (3.60) Barcelona (1.95)23.00: (2.45) PSG (3.45) Liverpool (2.80)***odds are subject to change***
