Sir Alex Ferguson retired from managing Manchester United in 2013, and since then he has seemingly enjoyed his retirement fully.
But he still has an official role at Man United. What is it? How much influence does he still have? Does he have a deciding vote in the decisions at the club?

As a Liverpool fan there was no man I hated more growing than SAF, however there was never a man I respect more in the game
I would say the same to Jurgen Kloop if he keep Liverpool going at the current rate. Amazing coach you got there.
Ole will never make that happened
Yeah mate. A Titan alright 👏👏👏👏
He is one of those sorts of giants you can revere even if screaming at his team.
@@gerardwilliams4550 what an idiotic comment, winning a domestic championship and winning the European Cup are two very different things. One is a consistency marathon, the other can be completely turned on its head in 5 minutes during a single game.
Chelsea won the PL 3 times in the years leading up to them winning the Champions League. Real Madrid won 4 Champions Leagues while only winning one La Liga title. Spurs got to the final despite not winning anything relevant for literal decades.
The standard of journalism is staggering compared to the tripe that’s shovelled out these days.
Outstanding work
Very informative style
absolute truth
Great to see this is still happening. MSM getting worse and worse with desire for clicks. Good that journalists still have room to do this kind of thorough and investigative stuff
I just want Sir Alex to see United lift that Prem title one more time before he leaves us all for eternity.
That wont be enough to pay reverence to the all time greatest manager. Only a treble could do that but how we are currently, a league title is what we can only hope for maybe in 4 years or so.
With the current performance, that will be impossible.
Wasn't that the point in his last season as manager?
after last night performance uefa, i doubt the only last thing man united will ever be lifting again is sir alex casket.. sad but true
Believe me this can be possible with current sqaud + 2 more signings + 1 proven manager like Poch.
Last time i was this early, Fergie was still dominating the Premier League
Wow you were in a coma! Welcome back!
Think you should ask your bird mate
Stfu
People. Now put this thing to rest. It has worn out.
@@amadoubah9296 your mums worn out
I learnt a lot from Ferguson in life....... Even trailing and on the brink of defeat with the correct mentality you can turn the situation in your favor within a blink an eye
That is what life is about.
The kind of surgeon you don't find anymore these days. He is the dying breed of great surgeon slowly making his way to his maker.
_Moyes' greatest error at ManU was getting rid of Fergie staff and foregoing the benefit of a smoother transition..._
And he changed all the carpets for literally no reason
Also he only had 9 month
It’s been long forgotten now, but I remember in December 2012 when Ferguson flew to NYC for dinner with Guardiola. I’m still adamant to this day it was to see if he’d take over in June 2013.
Being a Chelsea supporter though we are a rival of Manchester United, but Sir Alex Ferguson was,is and will be my favourite coach.
Damn thank you
Exactly the same for me
Chelsea and Man United are not rival....man city and Liverpool are the rival
Damn the last time I was this early, Shalke were winning games
What is Shalke?
@@arkie.stathopoulos no, Schalke is a german club
*Schalke 04, and they were winning when Raul Gonzalez was around.......
Last time I was this early people were saying Sheffield United could easily get European football
Enough influence for you to make a video 🙂
😂😂😂👍🏻
Smart guy😂
Desperate for content
@@JPzizou ??? This is a football channel wtf do you mean desperate for content
He will continue to have an influence even when he departs for the great trophy room in the sky. What a legacy.
I always like this format, I hope Tifo doesn't stop making them
Can you make a video about the relationship between Arsenal and Arsene Wenger, and the differences in the way United and Arsenal handled their legendary managers.
They should have let him be the director of football, turned the club into something like Bayern where past champions of all generations are intertwined with the whole Club.
He's still on over £2 million a year! That's some pension.
The best 2 Millions a year they spend for quite some time.
He deserves much more
He has earned every Pound
a little underpaid if anything
He is on a directorial position, so a clearly limited but we'll defined decision making post. That plus ambassadorial work, so it's not as limited as a pension. Though post surgery, it is going to limit to hia vote on very critical big decisions like final calls on sacking managers and new manager.
If he has any influence, he would just kick Paul Pogba out of the club.
He had already done that for them
@@chubs2312 Yeah. And he would do that again. Tbh he wouldn't have signed him in the first place.
@@grievuspwn4g3 So what? SAF knew his agent is twat and didn't mind him going to Juve for free!
Pogba is from uniteds academy 😂
@@supervarun777 I know he is. But he disrespected the club!
Best journalism in football, hands down.
A perfect Tifo video. Beautiful illustrations and amazing insight that this Manchester United fan did not know about.
I’m more a fan of Manchester United’s fiercest domestic rivals representing cities that begin with L. But even I can respect respect what fergie achieved there. And this video by tifo did a tremendous job illustrating fergie’s influence at the club since retiring
You could have written Leeds 😑
Ferguson has never been good at picking his own successor. See Aberdeen and Ian Porterfield.
Can’t blame him tbf. He’s spent so many years being the man, why would he think too deeply about who’s going to replace him. Only his wife convinced to retire in the end.
@@iwantgoals1566 even with his bad successors, he still picked managers that were tipped to be great. Sort of like a failed wonder kid.... just a manager. Also i saw somewhere that he offered Jurgen Klopp the job but he turned it down. I think Moyes was 3rd or 4th choice
@@Striker1870 yeah many of his talents back then were failed wonder kids, we have Anderson as a solid example here
That's not his job, his job is not permanent. Ed Woodward should do a better job to find a nice manager and support him in every way. I still think Mourinho deserved another chance
@@theportugueselegend Mourinho deserved the signings he demanded. He never got a center back he was asking for or full backs.
Legendary manager man utd and EPL will ever see , resp 🙏🙏
I think of him everyday. Legend
The thumbnail looks like SAF is farmer. But in reality he made premier league farmer's league. That's how much he dominated.
was thinking that 😅
love the cheeky rain edit. it always rains up in manchester.
Great content as always 👌❤
David Moyes says hi 😁
His memes were glorious when he was at Man Utd 😛
Who's here before the pornbots take over?
You’re safe with Tifo though. They did a whole video dedicated to how much they hate pornbots and what they’re doing to stop them.
Think that’s on Instagram mate
@@iwantgoals1566 which video
@@infomatters. Should be on the channel.
@@infomatters. it’s quite recent
Man... I miss Sir Alex !
He helped coach the team to beat PSG in Paris in 2019.Yes! The famous comeback
How do you know?
The Greatest Manager of all Time
Everyone talks about the manager’s job at United, but the problem is the CEO, without a proper director who has a grasp of the game (not just the business) and a clear solid vision, clubs fail.
Trust me, even if United had Guardiola or Klopp, it wouldn’t really matter.
This is literally a plug for Sir Alex's latest book.
I truly believe Ferguson was a Don figure in the PL and referees were terrified of him. He had the league in the palm of his hand
The premier league made a deal to destroy Man Utd because they were scared and bored of Man Utd constantly winning the premier league.
That’s why they sold small clubs like Chelsea and Man City to rich owners to increase more top teams.
They let the club get sold to Glazers.
@@aryan.2384 Bitter person
@@masonridgewell8063 it’s the truth and you know it is.
@@aryan.2384 shut up clown.
If I am not wrong, before glazers the saudi's were after manc. They wanted to buy manu but the deal never materialised.
Manu post Fergie came back to their natural state
@@c.augustedupin8860 at least they would have put some love and funding into club instead of robbing millions and putting the club in debt.
We miss you Sir Alex
The only regret I have as a Manchester United fan is the fact that SAF didn't leave a solid foundation for his successor which resulted our rapid decline, none the less he is the biggest footballing figure in Manchester United's history
He actually did. His mistake was thinking Moyes could cut it. But Moyes over did everything. He fired/replaced many backroom staff that formed the backbone of the club.
After SAF retired, there is a clown who immediately came in. His name is Woodie.
I demand a public apology from you for shaming Woodie. Woodie is an important figure, a friendly personality and someone who would do all he could for his gang. You can ask anyone and they will all confirm that statement, if they ever watch Toy Story. Thus associating such a disgraceful as Ed Woodward to a beloved name as Woodie is a true act of crime and you need to apology for it.
@@yooalex4173 🤡🤡🤡
@@yooalex4173 this is the truest correctest rightest statement
Fergie shouldn't get too much stick ceding to Moyes. I mean, Moyes at Everton was great. In retrospect, it was a bad choice, but decisions aren't made in retrospect and at the time it didn't seem like a bad shout.
Yes of course
1:08 You meant "remunerated" there btw. I'd say it was a typo except that the audio also said it wrong.
He could see Woodward coming in as new Vice Chair. He did the most sensible thing. Retired.
He should come back as interim manager to see out the season 😊
"extremely well-renumerated"
excellent at counting is he?
i was wondering....smh
Glad someone else picked up on that. It's a mistake that seems more believable than the correct word
@@thechewbaccadefence i want the editors job now haha
Perhaps he gets paid cash in hand. He would need to be good at counting to make sure he gets his £2m!
Had a shocker there...
I liked the video, good Fergie update. But the way he made it sound at the end, as though people are walking around thinking Skolsjaer is his puppet or something. No one thinks that, right?
The fact that he still choses the player in transfer market says a lot about how SAF after his retirement is to be blamed
Coaches are not given their favoured player but only those which SAF choses
Good stuff. I'd love to know who the drawings of people are though!
I'm almost entirely certain that Ferguson's influence now lies in making the VAR decisions during United games - they always seem to go in our favour. My Dad agrees.
Well you and your dad needs to cry some more. Deluded. Var has been favoring and going against every team to a certain extend
Haha, I’m not crying mate, I love it. As does my dad. He sends his regards.
He is on his 79th, no one would expect him to do more for Man.United, his contribution is eternal, but his mind and physique should rest and nothing to do with Man.United performance. It's a rightful things to do to leave United back in 2013 to concern more about family and healthiness for his good.
Yes Sir Alex was good but we all cant argue that his biggest mistake was not signing Ibrahim sangare
Yep that's a dark moment in his career.
God I would like someone like Ibrahim sangare ,boubacary Kamara
Sangare plays for psv pls make vedio on it.
The greatest
(Tenuous - remunerated) words I learned in this video.
The GOAT
Wow, no other comments, but great content as always
Can you do a video about the history of racism in football? You’ve touched on it before and every vid you’ve done on serious topics have been genuinely educational and interesting
I like having breakfast with your videos on
Could you talk about the influence of ghosts in scoring goals?
Would love to know Tifo's take on Kane's signature move. Where he backs into a jumping player. Is it as dangerous as we all think? Should it be banned like it is in other sports? As he knows what he is doing, should he get retroactive punishment?
Can you make a video om injuries? Why is it that some are more prone to injury while others aren’t? Why is it that some players don’t play as good after coming back from injury?
Please make one about Arsene Wenger
Ferguson was bigger than that club, which has been a very hard pill Manchester United fans are still struggling to swallow.
What’s the background tune please 🎶 ?
The Greatest of the Great.
How did you animate this
can you do a video on the biggest football bankruptcies from the last year? teams like sporting lokeren, macclesfield, gaziantepspor and limerick fc are all "well-known" teams that ceased to exist in 2020
Paul scouls will be part of the next team to manage unitec
Late in the States early in the UK
Can you make video on whats wrong with Koeman's Barcelona?
Anything related to Manchester United and I tap 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Okay Sir Alex looks like a Peaky Blonder in the thumbnail
I love TIFO, but i miss the whiteboard illustrations
Bought a subscription from the Athletic but can't give one away. Why's that?
As a 20 year old Manchester United fan I grew up watching Man U win all the time. Now I'm older and understand more about football and the phycology of it I think we just need a leader and I think its needed more on the pitch then off it. Someone like Roy Keane. Pogba needs to leave and hopefully the board will back Ole to buy some all rounded players that will fit his style of playing. Ole is not to blame in my opinion. And I think many people will disagree with me 😂
I am here because I was sent here by The Athletic
You were first released by the Athletic!
Tifo: the art of saying alot without really saying nothing
Bloortech at 5:25... i wonder if the chairman has any relation to Seb...
When I was growing up in the 90's If your team could finish above Utd you were pretty much guaranteed on winning the Premier League. Now if you finish above Utd, you might just squeeze into the last Champions League place.
5:29 Oh God, please don't sign that player. That's f*cking terrifying.
First time I'm here early🎉
That's not Samuel L. Jackson, that's Paul Pogba
Why does the dude with the mic at 1:21 look more like Michael Caine tho 🤔
🤣🤣
Last time i was this early, Leanguard was still considered a prospect.
Lingard*
But he is still so young
stop trolling Lingard plz. tho I am a Liverpool fan, I have to admit the amount of troll he gets, I dont think he can pass a day with peace. And you are doing this for fun, but it is making him a worse player.
@@RakibHassan-uk8co first day on the internet?
@@RakibHassan-uk8co You REALLY don't understand British football mate, if this is your attitude 😂
Please do a similar video on Lionel "the little dictator" Messi's influence at Barcelona...
LOL
I think the whole time Ole was there he was in control and still now hence Fletcher having a job there and how they ignore Keane!
SAF is a true gent.
Yeah, I wouldn't want much to do with a club ran by Ed Woodward either.
What does "well-renumerated" mean???
Remunerated vs Renumerated at 1:10. Nice job though
The Beginning of Ed Woodward marked the beginning of a new era alright...
THE BEGINNING OF MANBANTER TOXNITED!!!!!!
His power over man utd is like that of the queen over the UK, its ceremonial but its powerful & ultimately can be overarching especially in this case
I hated Ferguson, but what a great manager he was
His side had the fear factor back in the days
United under Ferguson and United today are so different it's not even the same club. From one of the top clubs in the world to a second tier team that gets snubbed by every major talent. Thanks Mr. Woodward!
seeing how shockingly bad the tactics and the recruitment been lately I can safely say the Sir isn't puppeting anything sadly
Thank you SAF for leaving that club, now united is a banter club and i love it
Its Fergie time.
1:08 should be remunerated, not re-numerated :-D
It's remunerated
Why not make a video related to wenger
So Sir Alex Ferguson, Phil Jackson or Bill Belichek?
Klopp
Man United haven’t ever been the same without him, and the Premier League will always miss him.
🙏
as shitty as they play the current Manchester United team is way more talented than fergie’s last season champion team(except van Persie), Ferguson just had great leadership (players respected him) and he knew how to get the most of what he had.
