Sir Alex Ferguson was arguably the best manager Manchester United ever had in the Premier League era. He had a successful stint that gave the Red Devils great glory in Europe and the entire world.
A section of United fans usually get emotional at the reflection of his days; his organization, playing style and relationship with his players. In fact, Old Trafford was a dream place for many players.
