Alex Ferguson
Sir Alex Ferguson – one of the most successful managers in footballing history, SAF has had 20 years at the top, and what contrasting times they have been – turning the team around in the late 80s before launching an assault on the new Premiership that has led Manchester United to 9 league titles (so far).
Ferguson should be remembered for the collective style his teams employ, attacking and defending in droves and staying disciplined without sacrificing creativity. He will also be remembered for his bustups with some of his best players – it’s a heavy price to pay for greatness, but it’s a price any Manchester United fan would pay.
You can catch a selection of Sir Alex Ferguson’s most famous quotes on the SAF page on Red Rants – the best Manchester United blog around.
Would A Change In System Bring A Change In Results For Manchester United?
Once more, it’s a tale of Manchester United shooting themselves in the foot.

Carling Cup – Proving ground for reserves

Do Sir Alex Ferguson’s Post-Match Barbs Reveal His Growing Insecurity?
Doubtless that you are already aware, but Manchester United ran out as deceptively narrow winners over Liverpool in a rather enthralling game of football yesterday afternoon You may also be privvy to the fact by now that Dimitar Berbatov finally shed two calendar years of resolute indifference in one (or three) fell swoop(s) by carding…
Man Utd Make Ten Changes Against Rangers: Surely A £25k Fine Is In Order?
Back in February of this year, Wolverhampton Wanderers were handed a suspended £25,000 fine by the Premier League board for fielding a weakened team against Manchester United the previous December.

Forget Rooney – United’s defending could cost them the title
Wayne Rooney’s private-life allegations may have shocked the world of football, but in no way are Manchester United’s problems restricted to Rooney’s well-documented setback…
Man Utd Throw Away Two More Points
Seriously, what the hell happened? United were cruising, after coming from being one nil down to produce some great football to go 3-1 in front, and then to see all that good play undone by two last minute goals from Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta. I’m really tempted now to go with my knee jerk…
Why Mourinho won’t be the one to replace Alex Ferguson
There are claims, there is endless speculation and there is somewhat shameless begging, but I hope Jose Mourinho is comfortable at Real Madrid, because I’m sure he will be there for some time. Sir Alex Ferguson is adamant that he’ll be at the helm of Manchester United until his health knocks him off his perch…
The Curious Case of Anderson at Manchester United
Anderson Luis de Abreu Oliveira or simply, Anderson, is a midfielder who is somewhat lost in the cimmerian shade of Old Trafford.
