#3 It hurt 26 years until Sir Alex Ferguson broke the deadlock in 1992/93
The Red Army waited for The Busby Babes, then for their revival and then the famous European Cup Dream; and in the 1990s another long wait was over when there came another Scot who finally won the title at the advent of the Premier League. It ended 26 years of title drought and also marked a new era at the club called the ‘Sir Alex Ferguson’ era, which interestingly also lasted for 26 years.
Early in the 1992/93 season, Manchester United wasn't as convincing as their previous years under Ferguson’s regime. But in the later half of the season, it would all change historically after the manager signed Eric Cantona from Leeds United.
Cantona acted as a catalyst influencing the Young Player of the Year Ryan Giggs and the team to the famous title. His influence was so tremendous that Cantona world take over captain Bryan Robson’s no. 7 jersey following season.
