Ni miaka 10 rasmi tangu Sir Alex Ferguson (81) alipotangaza kustaafu kuifundisha Manchester United na kufundisha soka kwa jumla
Akiwa klabuni hapo alishinda mataji 13 ya Premier League, 5 (FA Cup), 4 (League Cup / Carabao), 2 Ligi ya Mabingwa, European Cup Winners' Cup, European Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup na Klabu Bingwa Dunia
Tangu wakati huo, United imekuwa na makocha 8 lakini wote mambo yao yamekuwa magumu hasa katika EPL na Ligi ya Mabingwa Ulaya

Monday, 8 May 2023 marks 10 years since the seismic news of Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement was confirmed by Manchester United.
The story broke in the media on the night before the official announcement, despite the extraordinary lengths United went to try and keep it secret.
A decade on, it could be argued the club still hasn't recovered from Ferguson's exit.
The Scot remains the most decorated manager in British football.
He won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, four League Cups, two Champions Leagues, a European Cup Winners' Cup, a European Super Cup, an Intercontinental Cup and a Fifa Club World Cup during his time at Manchester United.
Add to that the three Scottish titles, four Scottish Cups, Scottish League Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup and European Super Cup he won as manager of Aberdeen.
Now 81, in his autobiography 'Alex Ferguson', he detailed why he decided to quit after nearly 27 years in one of the game's toughest and most high-profile jobs.
'"I'm going to retire," he told wife Cathy, around Christmas 2012.
'"Why are you going to do that," she replied.
"Cathy, who had lost her sister Bridget in the October and was struggling to come to terms with that bereavement, soon agreed it was the right course. Contractually, I was obliged to tell the club by 31 March if I was going to stand down that summer," wrote Ferguson.
So set in motion the wheels for Ferguson's departure. It was also the beginning of an attempt to keep one of the biggest stories of the Premier League era under wraps at perhaps its most-scrutinised club.
BBC Sport has spoken to a number of sources around United at that time for an insight into the process that ended with an amazing 5-5 draw in Ferguson's last game as a manager at West Brom on 19 May.
