The team has struggled to maintain the same level of success, while their rivals, particularly Manchester City, have risen to prominence. This shift has left many fans reminiscing about the glory days under Ferguson’s leadership.

In a candid interview on BBC Breakfast, Ferguson reflected on what he misses most about being a football manager. He expressed how the thrill of game day, the strategy involved in preparing for matches, and the connection with players and fans are irreplaceable aspects of the job. He emphasized that the passion he had for football and his dedication to Manchester United have remained strong, even in retirement.

Ferguson’s insights serve as a reminder of the deep emotional ties that managers and players develop with their clubs. His legacy at Manchester United continues to inspire both current players and aspiring managers around the world.

As fans, we can only hope that the spirit of Ferguson’s era can be rekindled at Old Trafford in the years to come.

he said; “Yeah, I miss it sometimes.

“I think the first year after retirement, I went to the European final and I said to Cathy ‘this is what I miss’ – big games, the European games.

“So then I went to most of the European finals because I find something I can relate to, something I would like to have done every day.

“Because these are the big events that United should always be involved in.”
