I was in Manchester and paid “homage” to Old Trafford. It is a club with rich history and heritage but unfortunately the fortunes declined upon the retirement of her most successful manager - Sir Alex Ferguson.
To celebrate a 100 year of history is no easy feat and I was a fan of Alex Ferguson. The gold era also ties in with a great manager and before Sir Alex, was Sir Matts Busby.
The stadium went through many phases of refurbishment and reconstruction and I was surprised to learn that, other than Wembley and among British ️ clubs, Old Trafford is still the stadium with the most seating capacity. After watching how they lost 2-1 to Crystal Palace yesterday, I can only conclude that having a great manager (the likes of Klopp, Pep or Mauricio) and a great captain, is absolutely critical to any Football club. As for Manchester...
