Today marks 10 years since Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed he would be leaving Manchester United and his retirement from management.
Having spent nearly 27 years in the Old Trafford dugout, the legendary Scot had transformed the Red Devils to the dominant force in English football. Knocking Liverpool ‘right off their f**king perch’ in the process, he won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, four League Cups, two Champions Leagues, a European Cup Winners' Cup, a European Super Cup, an Intercontinental Cup and a FIFA Club World Cup during his time with the Manchester club.
As a result, as United mourned his exit, Liverpool and the rest of England’s top clubs were glad to see the back of British football’s most decorated manager.
