Sir Alex Ferguson is known to firing up the premier league by bringing the red devils back to the top. Without Alex Ferguson as manager, Manchester United would never be one of the big band wagon teams. Since his retirement, Manchester United cannot find their groove. Although they are not at the very bottom of the list, Manchester United is not in the top ten where most people usually find them. He will always be known as the greatest football manager in England's history, possibly the world's history.

Sir Alex Ferguson made my life while I lived in England much better. I was a Manchester United fan since I was a kid when my dad bought me a Manchester United jersey. It was a good way to make friends since I wore the shirt to school. While I lived in England, Sir Alex Ferguson led Manchester United to victory multiple times. If it wasn't for Sir Alex, I would have to hear all of the Chelsea fans brag about their wins but instead I was able to brag about Manchester's wins.
