About this listen

Before, during and after Manchester United

Alex is the most up-to-date biography of Sir Alex Ferguson, the most decorated manager in British football history.

Find out how he recovered from his brain surgery in 2018, why he appointed David Moyes as his successor, how livid he was when Moyes was sacked 10 months later, what he thought of Louis van Gaal’s tenure as Manchester United manager, what he thought of Jose Mourinho’s reign, and just how big a role he played in the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

This book also takes a deep dive into Alex’s relationship with the Glazer family and how he views the work carried out by Ed Woodward.

This is - by far - the best book written about Fergie. It goes in depth into how he ruled as a manager, as well into who he is as a person, opening the doors to his private life. The best insight dives deep into everything that happened at Manchester United since he retired, gifting insight into Moyes, Mourinho, Van Gaal etc. it also describes Fergie’s thoughts on the Glazer family and their ownership of Man United. A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO CALLS THEMSELF A MAN U FAN.
