Man Utd: 13 Memorable Moments From Alex Ferguson's 13 Glorious Titles

7. Fergie Gives You Wingers

Sir Alex loves a winger, always has and always will. Here is a list of wingers he has signed: Sharpe, Wallace, Zaha, Giggs, Kanchelskis, Young, Valencia, Ronaldo (he was a winger initially), Beckham and Phelan (ok I€™m pushing the definition of a winger slightly with that one). Maybe it is because he preferred his sides to play with width, maybe just a throwback to a bygone age or perhaps it appeals to his romantic side to evoke an era of football that no longer exists. Either way this was a great aspect of his preferred playing style and it has lead to some very entertaining football.
