Sir Alex Ferguson will pass another impressive milestone in his storied career as the manager of Manchester United on Monday as he reaches his 20th anniversary of being in charge of the club. Since replacing Ron Atkinson in 1986, Ferguson has won 25 trophies with Man Utd, including eight Premiership titles, five FA Cups, two League Cups, six Charity Shields, one European Cup Winner’s Cup, one UEFA Supercup, one Intercontinental Cup, and of course, one UEFA Champions League, in 1999, the year United won its famous treble. Captain Gary Neville spoke recently during the first of many press conferences that will be held commemorating Ferguson’s legendary career. First off, Neville denied rumors that Ferguson would retire at the end of this year. “There may have been a time when he was talking about retiring but that has gone away now,” he said. Neville added that he believes Ferguson has already surpassed the achievements of Sir Matt Busby, who coached the team to its first European Cup victory in 1968, in terms of the total number of trophies. “Matt Busby was always seen as the godfather of this club,” he said, but “Alex Ferguson has surpassed Sir Matt’s achievements, and in 20, 30 and 40 years’ time people will look back and see United as being formed by two great figures rather than one. He is Manchester United, and replacing him is going to be an incredibly difficult job.” It should be said that in an era where a team like Real Madrid can go through as many as four managers in a single season, Ferguson’s record at Manchester United looks all the more remarkable.
