Sir Alex Ferguson


Listen Later

Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. Manchester United spent a decade learning that the hard way.


Between 1993 and 2013, Sir Alex Ferguson won 13 Premier League titles at United. Then he retired, and David Moyes lasted less than a year as his replacement. Van Gaal came and went. So did Mourinho and Solskjaer. More than a decade later, the crisis still hasn't stopped.


This is the story of how United went from world football's most storied club to a team that doesn't know what it is anymore. Featuring journalist Jim White, we explore the Busby era, the Class of '92, Ferguson's impossible shadow, and why building your entire structure around one person is a recipe for disaster.
