"My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment. My greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f*****g perch. And you can print that."
Sir Alex Ferguson’s famous declaration during his Manchester United heyday. When taking over at Old Trafford in 1986, the Red Devils had seven league titles to the Reds’ 16. Come the inaugural Premier League season in 1992/93, Liverpool had extended that total to 18 while United had gone 26 years without winning the league.
But by ending the drought that year, the fiery Scot was kick-starting a period of dominance at Old Trafford which would see United crowned champions of England 13 times over the next 21 seasons and only once go more than one year without winning the league prior to Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.
Overtaking Liverpool’s total number of league wins in 2011 with their 19th title, Ferguson had succeeded in knocking the Reds off their perch. But he wanted more. Having won the European Cup in 1999 and 2008, taking United’s overall total to three, he wanted to become England’s most successful side in Europe too.
