In a stunning development, legendary former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has called for the return of one of the club’s ex-managers, admitting that the board may have been too quick to dismiss him. Ferguson, who remains one of the most influential figures in the club’s history, believes that the former coach deserves a second chance at Old Trafford.
“Of all the coaches who have taken charge since my tenure, I think he deserves another opportunity. I and the board were too harsh on him at the time. He had, and still has, the potential to turn things around with this current squad. He should be brought back either as head coach or as interim manager immediately,” Ferguson reportedly stated.
The endorsement from Ferguson has reignited debate among fans, with reports suggesting that as many as 95% of United supporters are in favor of seeing the ex-manager return. Many argue that his familiarity with the club and tactical vision could be exactly what United need to restore stability and rebuild confidence after a difficult run of results.
The final decision now rests with the Manchester United board, who must weigh Ferguson’s backing, the overwhelming support of the fans, and the long-term direction of the club. For now, the possibility of a shock managerial comeback has electrified the Old Trafford faithful and placed the spotlight firmly on the leadership’s next move.
