Given that Sir Alex Ferguson won five FA Cup trophies during his time with Manchester United, it is clear that the stern Scotsman took the competition seriously. Only Arsene Wenger and George Ramsay have won the cup on more occasions, and more often than not, United would go deep in the competition - even if they didn't always triumph in the end.
As United boss, he enjoyed success in the domestic competitions. As well as consistently competing for the league title, the Reds were always competitive in both the FA Cup and EFL Cup under Ferguson. Unlike nowadays - when cup competitions can often come behind a title race or a battle for league survival - every match was treated equally in years gone by. Especially under Ferguson.
Ferguson holds several records from his time in charge of United, and his trophy cabinet is full of silverware. Despite his success, not every season was one to shout about and there were sometimes bumps in the road. However, when it came to cup competitions, the Scot had an unrivalled ability to guide his side into the latter stages - and more often than not, the Reds would find themselves among the last remaining sides.
