Trending
Sir Alex Ferguson had one big dream as a Manchester United manager, that of restoring the club to being the best club in England. Before his arrival in 1986, Liverpool had dominated the English football scene of the 1970s and the 1980s.
At the time when Ferguson was building a team chasing his dream, United only had seven titles while Liverpool had amassed an incredible 18 trophies in their cabinet. So one of the most memorable moments was recorded when Manchester United became the most successful club in England.
As Sir Alex Ferguson said, in order to do so it was necessary to end their domination by “knocking Liverpool off their f****** perch.” Man United drew level with Liverpool in 2009, beating their rivals to the top spot by just four points. And it was only a matter of time before Manchester United won their 19th title in 2011, and later extending their record with another league win in 2013 after which Ferguson retired.
