Manchester United are owned by Malcolm Glazer and Managed by the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson who has been in charge at Old Trafford since 1986. Since the beginning of the Premier League, Man United have been the dominant force in English football winning bucket loads of trophies and they are the reigning Premier League and European Champions League winners. Sir Alex will be in charge for as long as he wants to be until he decides he wants to retire, that is something many people expect to happen in the next few years.

When the Glazers took over United there was great worry among supporters that they would ruin the club and take them away from their traditions. Nothing could have been farther from the truth as the Glazers have been more than happy to remain in the background and leave the running of the club to Sir Alex Ferguson. There is no sign of that changing at least until Ferguson calls it a day so it may be an interesting period when that time comes and a new Manager is brought in.

Manager History

The Manager History of Man United is dominated by Sir Alex Ferguson who has been in charge since November 1986 which is a remarkable record and he is by far the longest serving Manager in English Football. Prior to Ferguson arriving  United were battling to regain supremacy from rivals Liverpool but they have never been a sacking club and they will want to continue that tradition for as long as possible.
