Manchester United and Sir Alex: Till Death Do Us Part?

Sir Alex Ferguson has been at the helm of Manchester United for over two decades.

The Scot took over at Old Trafford from Aberdeen during turbulent times for the Red Devils but the misery seems nothing more than a distant memory, not for Sir Alex though.

From the Treble in 1999 to the Double in 2008, Manchester United is global phenomenon.

The ex-Rangers striker has eight Premier League Manager of the Year Awards besides twenty-three Manager of the Month Awards.

He has won the English Premier League a record ten times, the FA Cup five times, the Carling Cup twice, the UEFA Champions League twice, the Community Shield eight times and the European Super Cup once as well amongst his glorious list of accolades.

It's hard to picture another manager at Manchester United, whether you think of Carlos Quieroz, Ryan Giggs, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Darren Ferguson, Bryan McClair, or even Eric Cantona.

Ferguson's "Guile" watch has outlasted Jose Mourinho's time in the Premier League while Britain's chewing gum business continues to depend on him.

Ferguson has given supporters and players alike many memories to cherish and dread—including the boot to Beckham and the war with Keegan.

He made some fantastic signings like Bryan McClair, Eric Cantona, and Cristiano Ronaldo; and some not-so-good signings like Kleberson and Massimo Taibi.

Recently, Ferguson said he would retire within the next three seasons but he earlier pulled out of a retirement in 2002.

Personally, I don't think Sir Alex Ferguson will ever retire from the United manager's post and since he can never be sacked—Manchester United and their 66-year-old manager will be together "till death do us part."
