Manchester United fans have voiced their desire for the return of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson after the team’s disappointing start to the season. United suffered a 4-3 defeat against Bayern Munich in their opening Champions League group stage match, marking their fourth loss in their first six games of the season. This is the club’s worst start to a season since the 1986/87 season.
Supporters have taken to social media to express their desire for Ferguson’s return, with one fan pleading, “We are so done, bring back Sir Alex Ferguson.” Others echoed this sentiment, with calls like, “Time to bring back Sir Alex Ferguson from retirement.”Others joined the movement on social media with hashtags like #BringBackSirAlex. Some fans believe that the current United team could transform under Ferguson’s leadership, and there’s a general sense of nostalgia for the successful era he oversaw.
Even Bayern Munich’s coach, Thomas Tuchel, acknowledged the enduring impact of Ferguson’s 26-plus year reign at United, citing the “legacy of Sir Alex” as a source of immense pressure and expectations at the club.
The sentiment among some fans is that bringing back Ferguson, even for a short period, could help transform the team’s fortunes. However, it remains to be seen if such a move is within the realm of possibility.
