On November 6, 2025, Manchester United celebrated 39 years since Sir Alex Ferguson’s appointment as manager in 1986—a turning point that transformed the club’s fortunes and defined modern football success.
Ferguson arrived at Old Trafford with United sitting 21st in the First Division, facing relegation.
The 44-year-old Scot, who had led Aberdeen to European success, quickly rebuilt the squad and laid the foundation for an era of dominance.
Over 26 years, Ferguson won 13 Premier League titles, 5 FA Cups, and 2 UEFA Champions League trophies, including the iconic 1999 Treble.
He managed 2,155 games and nurtured the famed Class of ’92—David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and the Neville brothers.
Fans around the world commemorated his legacy under #FergieTime, celebrating his fiery leadership and relentless pursuit of excellence.
