A Comprehensive Guide to Manchester United Managers
The Legendary Era
Sir Alex Ferguson is undoubtedly the most successful manager in Manchester United's history, having guided the club to an unprecedented 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and four Champions League trophies during his 27-year tenure.
Ferguson's legendary status is built upon his ability to identify and develop young talent, exemplified by the success of the "Class of '92" featuring David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes.
The Post-Ferguson Era
David Moyes
David Moyes took over from Ferguson in 2013 but his reign was short-lived, as he was sacked after just 10 months with the club languishing in seventh place in the Premier League.
Louis van Gaal
Dutch manager Louis van Gaal arrived in 2014 and won the FA Cup in his first season, but his attacking style of play often failed to impress fans and he was replaced by José Mourinho in 2016.
José Mourinho
Mourinho led Manchester United to Europa League and EFL Cup victories in his first season, but his tenure was marked by controversy and he was sacked in December 2018 following a poor run of results.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær
Former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjær was appointed interim manager in December 2018 and was given the permanent role in March 2019.
Solskjær led the club to a third-place finish in the Premier League in his first full season, but he was sacked in November 2021 after a disappointing start to the 2021/22 campaign.
Erik ten Hag
Dutch manager Erik ten Hag was appointed as Manchester United's new manager in May 2022.
Ten Hag has a reputation for developing young players and playing an attacking style of football, and he will be hoping to bring success back to Old Trafford after a challenging period for the club.
