Iconic football manager Sir Alex Ferguson has suggested that it could take Manchester United a decade to win the English Premier League title again.
The legendary coach won 13 EPL titles during his over two decade run at Old Trafford that had Man United beat Liverpool to become the team with the most league title wins.
Sir Alex retired in 2013 and Liverpool have since tied Man United’s league title count by winning two more league titles including the immediate past season’s title under Arne Slot.
Speaking to Press Box PR in Bahrain, the Scot praised present Man United head coach Ruben Amorim before delivering the brutal league title assessment of his former club.
“He [Amorim] is a good personality. It is not easy.”
“I remember looking back on my own time there, starting off when Liverpool were the bee’s knees. They were a fantastic club winning the European Cup four times and all that, but then it took them 31 years [it was 30] to win the league again.”
“We are now in the same situation. It could be ten years, could be 11 years, because of that cycle. It has to be thought out carefully and we have to make sure the recruitment is going to be better than what it was” Sir Alex said.
Man United rank sixth in the league and take on Aston Villa on Sunday, December 21 in a tough fixture.
