At the end of the 2012/2013 season, Sir Alex Ferguson retired from management.

He went out as a champion, and that’s also the last season in which Manchester United won the English Premier League title, with crosstown rivals Manchester City certain to pick up their fourth league title since then in the coming weeks.

After a period of managerial changes, Manchester United finally look to have settled on Ole Gunnar Solskjær, with second place in the league all but wrapped up.

There’s also the small matter of a Europa League final to contest, against Spanish outfit Villareal, and the Red Devils are clear favourites.

Hollywoodbets has Villareal priced at 3,9, a draw after 90 minutes is priced at 2,5, and a Manchester United win in regular time is priced at 0,75.

Even if Ole and his outfit rack up the titles for years to come, there is no way the Norwegian will ever rival the level of success Sir Alex achieved during his tenure from 1986 to 2013.

The Scot’s reign, as well as his journey from humble roots to football glory, will be celebrated in a new Amazon documentary, Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In.

It’s directed by his son, Jason, and will explore his career as both a player and a manager, reports Goal:

The documentary was filmed while Ferguson was recovering from the life-threatening brain haemorrhage he suffered from in 2018, when he believed that there was a danger of his memories being lost forever…

The exclusive documentary will include stories told by Ferguson about his life around and away from football, recounting his stories growing up as well as his successes with Manchester United.

The doccie is being produced by DNA Films, as well as Passion Pictures, which worked on 2012’s superb Searching for Sugar Man.

Here you go, Manchester United (and football) fans:

That May 29 release date is only confirmed for UK and Irish Amazon Prime users, with some suggestions that it will be available internationally from May 31.

Given how fickle football fans are these days, and the pressure that can be exerted via social media and the media at large, I doubt we will ever see the likes of Fergie again.
