The man won the 1999 Champions League Final, he knows full well what can happen at the last minutes.
Last 3 minutes mate.
It doesn't get better than that. "SolskjAER!"
Will the injury time goals still happen if Lothar Matthäus didn't get subbed off?
@@RafsanS15 probably not
Their defending was awful after he was subbed off
@@renejean2523 I believe the words were "And Solskjaer has won it!!"
Fergie always sounds like he’s just spent 6 hours in a pub
they don’t call him ‘slur’ alex ferguson for nothing....
Anti-Scottish comment. Typical.
I like his accent tbh
@@RenegadeShepard69 when did he mention Scotland u shmuck
@@RenegadeShepard69 if it was anti Scottish he would’ve said every Scottish person sounds like they just spent 6 hours in the pub
The man postponed his retirement to win the trophy back from the local rivals next year and go out on top 😂😂 What a bloody legend!!
I swear
Yessssss❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@susangoodfellow7676 how has it looked the last 12 years?
As a City supporter.. and someone at the QPR game... The fact that he won that title with the team he had the following year was nothing short of astonishing and if he had won nothing else in his career that would have been an achievement that would be spoken about for decades.
The season after Sir Alex Ferguson won the League with Tom Cleverley in midfield
Cleverly and anderson center mids , remember that season
Not To Forget Phil Jones.
And ji sung park what a big game player
@@rickb3959 yes but Park was actually a beast
Yes those were the good days when idiot fans dint complain about players and transfers and what not....
‘Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’
‘Pardon’ ?
A lesson that goku taught us
😂😂😂😂😂 Had me
@@firstofrado8689 "he could've been killed"
Just lost some brain cells...
👍thanks lads
fair play commentator throwing in a bit of Nietzsche, would like to see more philosophy in football interviews plz
Came back and won the title the very next year. Legend.
His last one and the clubs, beautiful all around
Yeah and then retired. Absolutely epic. I always wonder if he was gonna retire this year had he won.
Confirms that football is rigged
With how many wrongful penalties that season ? Rvp at United was overrated went from 1st place to 7 th in a heartbeat
He was going to retire the same year city won it but had to delay his retirement until the following year when he won it. Went out and spent big on RVP on deadline day and that was the difference maker that season
Not that there's any doubt he's the greatest manager of all time but he then came back to walk the league with Jones, Welbeck, Anderson & Cleverly, what a legend!
Oh, so Van Persie deserves absolutely no mention?
@@darthhideous9084 You didn't understand what meant. He was just mentioning the weak, british quota players that with any other manager would've never won a title as starters.
@@RenegadeShepard69 The main crux of the argument is deceptive due to naming the more insignificant players of that title-winning side and completely ignoring everyone else. It's akin to saying "Guardiola came back to walk the league with Caceres, Gudjohnsen, Hleb, and Bojan in 2009, what a legend!"
Ferdinand and Vidic were still there on defense and played often that season, Scholes returned from retirement to help make that midfield work, and Van Persie destroyed Welbeck's career by making him a non-factor. It was never a "challenge," the Glazers bought Van Persie in his prime as a parting gift for Ferguson so that he could retire at the end of the season and comfortably won the league by 11 points.
It was very clearly an aging squad at the time and Ferguson made an absolutely dreadful effort to better it in the long term (Jones, Smalling, Kagawa, Nick Powell, Young, Bebe, Angelo Henriquez, et al.) making him playing an underrated role in not winning the league since. No other United supporter would ever say such a thing, as Ferguson's stupidly immune to criticism - but it's very true.
How he managed to do that ... I will never know !!
@@darthhideous9084 that guardiola example is nonsense because non of those players were starters. If the team was so good and it wasn't Ferguson making them win the league then why did almost the exact same team come 7th a year later?
Fair play to SAF, this was a dignified interview in very unfortunate circumstances. He wasn’t always known for his class, but he came across well here.
Unfortunate? Lost both Manchester derbys, one lost 6-1 at Old Trafford.
“Not in my lifetime”
@Yvan Sainathan He often took cheeky digs at his rivals
Not known for his class???????
He said city would never win the leauge , he was wounded
This is pure class from Sir Alex, giving credit where it’s due, what a professional. This is the mentality missing from United now, Sir Alex took the L respectively and came back to win it the next season.
It's not missing... keep your ugly trap shut... if SAF got the job today you moron fans would probably have sacked him in 3 years... FYI he took 4 years to win a cup and 5 to win the league... Ole will do it sooner...
@@rohitrevankar7674 I didn’t say Ole won’t do it but he clearly doesn’t have that mentality right now. He’s got small club mentality. Just the other week when he could’ve put more pressure on City he chose to hand over the league as a gift and got battred by Liverpool!! He’s learning but he’s no where close so
@@abdidesign3255 He handed the league to City? What you on about? He was forced into making 10 changes for Leicester City... Losing Maguire was clearly crucial as we dint look solid at the back against Liverpool which we have been in the second half of the PL season... what exactly are you on about? Don't make it sound like Managers play the football.. the players had a bad game... You guys play too much football manager on your phones lmao...
@@rohitrevankar7674 it's ridiculous how much Man UTD fans defend this spineless yes man because he once used to come off the bench for them...Imagine if you'd given this kind of support and funds to Jose...
@@johnnyui7630 Jose had support... but he lost the dressing room and hence the fans by default.... why? cos of disgustingly ugly football... funds you say? The highest fee paid till date for a transfer by United is Paul Pogbas 100 million... United always have the funds.. Van Gaal bought Flacao, Di Maria, Rojo, Blind, Depay... Mourinho got in Pogba, Lindelof, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku... the problem has always been management... you can't play a United team purely for results.. thers a brand of football that needs to be maintained... Jose found that out the hard way... we dint score 5 goals in a game while he was around.. not acceptable... Great manager but not fit for United.. under OGS we score goals galore... look I have witnessed lots of success under SAF.. I don't get why other fans are impatient for results... I can wait a while before United's next era of dominance... no hurry... it will come..
Sir Alex is a lot more nicer today than he was once as the boss. 😅
Are you referencing the great man's recent quote he gave in an interview this week?
tbf mate he had just lost the title right before that video lol
He was the boss at the time of this interview
This was 10 years ago he don’t look this well anymore
You need that ruthlessness to be a serial winner...
I am a Bayern München fan but I Respect Sir Alex Ferguson. He has made Manchester United a name to be feared of. We need that Manchester United back today.
no we dont
Imagine being a bayern fan Lmao

Greatest sports moment in my life!!
The Greatest ......................day of my sporting life the day
Class in victory and defeat. Simply the greatest of all time.
Still loving this in 2021!
Not a utd fan but you have to love him gracious in defeat and a cruel one too very few would react this way
Very gracious in defeat. Always been a big SAF fan.
As a city fan in 2021, interesting to hear Sir Alex's comments and mirror them with Pep's when he has lost - Very gracious and respectful... perhaps some other managers can learn something form them. Although its true to say that perhaps their clubs don't support the managers as much.
Absolute Legend
That was a crazy year of football in the PL 🤣😂😭😄😀
Reacting so gracefully after what happened...respect.
From a city fan true professional and a legend sir alex if u dont have respect for the man your not s true football fan
To win the title the year after.
Was his best achievement
Alex Fergusons United broke the transfer record 5 times. Pep has done it once with city. You can believe the nostalgia lies about Fergie or the truth. He’s great but he needed money to do it just like any top manager does
But go and analyise the total spend per year and fergie out of all his years only out spent up to 3 or 4 times for the total transfer.
How about Aberdeen then lad?? Everyone goes quiet when that gets mentioned, no other manager could have done that, as for the spending at united, they done it within their means and didn't break any rules, not sure anyone else can say that 😂 best that's ever lived 👌
From 2005 till his retirement Fergie made a net profit think what he won in that time
Yeah the class of 92 cost loads didn’t they. Revisionist nonsense.
I’d like to see Pep win a European trophy at a relative minnow club in Scotland who had to train on the beach in the winter because their pitch was frozen.
You’re so uninformed. Just stop.
Thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤
I miss the old enemy.. He was magnificent.. Respect
Showed grace and dignity in defeat, he used this 2nd place finish as motivation for next season and signed off with a title win
Agueroooooooooooooooooooooooo, love the timing loooool

I will show you the biggest fool the world has ever seen.
Only fools take loseing well.
Start thinking of revenge as soon as possible in football as soon as the final whistle has went no point wasting time.
At the end of the day life is like a boxing match you get smacked down to the canvas you get back up as quickly as possible ready to go in to battle once again no time to waste.
@@cddb5408 What, losing to Bayern in the Champions League after being 3-0 up in the second leg?
bitter twisted drunk i think
I was away on my birthday watching both games on two different tvs in a pub... as united fan this one hurt!
I was on my down to the bookies with my old man,2 brothers to collect our winnings then literally 2mins later man shitty ruined it. Lost about £2k as well as us losing title. Bad day
‘Not in my lifetime’. Now it’s every time!
Best manager ever
No one can manage Manchester United better than the great SAF a true legend 🙌👏
Although I've heard it several times from him, I still hear "week" when he says "league" and get confused. Then realise he was saying "league"
Be fair to him, English is his second language :)
Wait till you hear him attempt the word, 'magnanimous'.
He's from Scotland. Normally need subtitles when they talk or translator
You could see how utterly wounded he was losing the title like that...respect to him coming again the next year and getting it back.
The greatest manager there was or ever will be, he experienced this crushing last minute loss of the league and did what every great manager does and goes and wins it the very next year, what’s more impressive is the squad he did it with. Man united have been a shadow of the team they used to be since he left which says it all, I don’t like Manchester United but what a manager he was.
No one outside Britain claims him to be best manager lol
@@kingkong9410 this is not true and you know it. He's well respected anywhere in the world and many football fans outside Britain see him as the best manager ever.
Certainly isn’t clear cut. Plenty of metrics point to him not being the best ever in England, let alone elsewhere. Fergie would struggle against todays city just like any huge club does. They are a different level. For most of his time Fergie competed with Blackburn, Newcastle and Arsenal. Arsenal were probably his biggest rival until Roman went to Chelsea.
Fergie was exceptional though no doubt. Bosses like him and Klopp just have something 99.9% don’t.
@@BalkAyhan paisley won 20 cups, including 3 EC, in 9 years. That’s when losing 1 game put you out too and only champions competed. The idea the world says Alex Ferguson when asked the best manager ever is simply a myth.

Can you upload post match interviews from Liverpool’s last win before tonight at Old Trafford in 2014 ?
Came back and won it again the year after. Respect SAF (City fan)
With the quality of the current team, Sir Fergie is quietly happy that his own legacy will be kept intact for a long, long, long time.
Quality of the current team???? Fergie would throw most of them out and start again! 😁
You can’t even compare the current squad to Fergie era squads 😂 Get yer eyes checked mate
For a long time? He's got a stand in his name and a statue of himself outside Old Trafford. His legacy will be around forever
wow this was definition of class.

Say what you want about SAF but he handled this with class
GoAT. From a Chelsea fan
And still went out on a high the following season.
Loved it at the time as a Liverpool fan in all honesty
Everyone will obviously give him credit for the mature response he gave in this interview but the reality is this was the title Sir Alex himself gave away. His persistence in not strengthening the midfield, signing midtable quality players like Ashley Young after saying “he wants to catch Barcelona” having been humiliated by them, favouring a limited goal poacher like Chicarito, “no value in the market” nonsense, making Scholes comeback from retirement etc. This rejection of moving on & improving the squad caused the loss of title.
It was a lost season for United all round actually. They also went out in group stages of Champions League in a group that consisted Benfica, Basel and Otelul Galati. Humiliated by Athletic Bilbao home & away afterwards. He also preferred Park & even Rafael in CM to Pogba when he was ready which resulted in him leaving the club and cost United £89m. Sir Alex was too stubborn late in his career.
Im a blue, he's a class act.. loves his footy.. bless up sir Taggert!☝️💙👊
Atleast he said congratulations to us
What a gentleman SAF is
As a United fan I found it strange that we were 8 goals off them and our last two games were Swansea and Sunderland. We won 2-0 and 1-0. I was desperate for us to at least try to hammer them and make it interesting. Never understood the apathy from the team in that respect.
The Boss
It was actually a gift given by Everton to Man City the week before.
All class
He got owned and put in the biggest spliff ever 😂
Let's not forget that this maniac spent 1 hour meeting with PSG before the match so they can give them ways and methods probably to beat Mancity and PSG played even worst so THANKS Alex
class act
SAF was devestated while now man utd were celebrating losing to liecester while man ciy won

And the next year MU won PL (MC was 2nd). Resilience.
I can't seem to find the clip of fergs face the second he found out the title was snatched from them. Classic moment.
If you’re sad and bitter sure
Old red nose was quite respectful in defeat.
You want to talk about a building a resilient culture at a club? He always talked about not letting losing becoming a habit, so when you lose a match, you damn sure won't lose the next one. It's why teams hated playing us after a loss. Lost the league in 2012 and ended the following season as champions... that's the kind of character this club hasn't had since he left.
Best manager the premiership has ever seen.
And the award for stating the obvious goes to...
If, instead of losing 1-6 at home to City, had instead lost 2-1, we'd have had an identical record with them.
Ha ha you didn’t though

He looks so much healthier since he retired. The greatest manager ever. Legend
