Manchester United’s failure to move on from Sir Alex Ferguson has been brought into sharp contrast by the nine-year anniversary of his famous farewell speech at Old Trafford.
United face yet another regime change this summer, with Erik ten Hag arriving from Ajax to take over from interim boss Ralf Rangnick, who himself was a stop-gap after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November. Ten Hag will be the eighth person, including caretakers, to take the hot seat since Ferguson stepped down after 27 years of service in the role.
With a microphone in his hand, following a 2-1 win over Swansea City, Ferguson addressed the Old Trafford crowd for the final time. After reflecting on his career and thanking the fans, his staff and the players, Ferguson considered what comes next.
