Reporter Han Bing reports that Ferguson is back at Manchester United! I am afraid that this is one of the most happy news for Manchester United fans in 9 years: after the departure of "Old Lord", Manchester United has been sinking for 9 years, and has not touched the Premier League and Champions League trophies, which is too starkly contrasted with the Ferguson era Premier League trophy. After a disastrous last season, the Greszer family and CEO Alexander-Arnold finally realized that to bring United back to glory, it would not work without Ferguson's influence.
Last season, Manchester United just underwent a huge change in management, ceo Woodward, who has been criticized by fans for a long time, left the team, sent away 3 managers, and recruited new coach Tennhach from Ajax. However, Manchester United's reinforcements were not smooth, not only was it snatched up by sworn enemies Manchester City and Liverpool, but the team's first superstar C Ronaldo also insisted on leaving the team, which can be described as worse.
After consulting with the Gressell family, the club's CEO, Arnold, was determined to make a major change in management. Ferguson, Brian Robson and David Gill, three legends of the Golden Age, formed a "five-man think tank" with the current CEO Arnold and football director Motov, and fully participated in the management of Manchester United.
On Tuesday, Ronaldo returned to the training ground to negotiate a departure with Manchester United management, and the "Manchester United Think Tank" also held its first meeting after the group at the luncheon at the Carrington base. Manchester United think tanks will meet regularly to discuss major sporting and even commercial matters, which will revolutionize United's management and decision-making mechanisms. Although Ferguson and David Gill have been independent directors on United's board since their departure in 2013, they are only symbolic "virtual jobs". Now, they will re-exert influence on the Manchester United dressing room.
Since leaving Manchester United, Ferguson has been following Manchester United very much and is very happy to continue to influence the development of Manchester United. In the past 9 years, Manchester United has the shadow of Ferguson behind many decisions from the selection of the coach to the introduction of reinforcements, including Sir's first successor Moyes, as well as mourinho he admires most and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has only half a year of Premier League coaching experience but can jump on the dragon goal. The fans were most impressed by the fact that Ferguson personally lobbied C Ronaldo last year, reversing the situation at the last moment and bringing Ronaldo, who had agreed to join Manchester City, back to Old Trafford.
Ferguson, who is 80 years old, suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in 2018 and has since recovered but has been unable to continue to perform his duties. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to continue helping his beloved Red Devils, and Alexander-Arnold, who replaced Woodward in February, also realised United had to get more help from Ferguson. In addition to Ferguson, the "Manchester United think tank" includes david Gill, the former CEO who worked with him to create manchester United's glory, and player legend Brian Robson.
Three highly respected legends will provide the two executives with very extensive advice, including the refurbishment and expansion of Old Trafford and Carrington training bases, as well as the repair of the club's relationship with the fans. The think tank's proposal inevitably involves football and business matters, and Ferguson had a brief exchange with Ronaldo on Tuesday when Ronaldo and Mendes negotiated with Manchester United executives.
The British media generally gave a positive evaluation of Manchester United's invitation to Ferguson's return, believing that the three legends would bring their championship confidence and experience back to the Red Devils dressing room, enough to lead Manchester United to a brighter future.
However, the return of Manchester United fans to Ferguson is not one-sided support, but rather a sharp divergence of two factions. Supporters believe that The Old Lord can restore order and confidence in the Manchester United dressing room, as well as the long-lost king mentality. But opponents believe that Manchester United should not go back, Ferguson belongs to the past, and Manchester United always has to come out of the shadow of the legend and create a new legend. Ferguson's return will surely bring greater coaching pressure to Manchester United's new coach Tennhach, after all, no coach wants to have such an influential "supervisor" behind his back.
