Sir Alex Ferguson lifted his 26th trophy in 23 years as Manchester United manager on Sunday, his 34th in over all, with the reds beating Aston Villa 2-1 at Wembley.
After going a goal behind after four minutes, goals from Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney gave United the win.
Ferguson has praised the patience of our players in coming back from a goal goal and is pleased with the great support from our fans.
“If you go a goal down early in a cup final you’ve got a job to do, you need a lot of patience,” said Ferguson. “Once we scored we looked a lot stronger. The first half was a real ding-dong battle, it was a soft tiring pitch and it took its toll on the players. I was hoping we could get some tempo into our game, because in the first ten minutes Villa laid down the gauntlet to us and made us turn towards our own goal.”
Our fans were covered in green and gold as part of the anti-Glazer protest, yet the manager was pleased with our contribution to the result.
“The support was fantastic, they are so valuable,” he continued. “Whenever we really need them, they are there.”
Man Utd News 24/7
Are you sure SAF has won 34 trophies with Man Utd?
I guess you are including the charity shield in that total, which is amazing. That is .5 trophies per season
What the rent boys, scousers and Gooners would give for that
I doubt they have won that many trophies put together in 23 seasons
typo
1.5 trophies per season
No the 34 trophies includes Aberdeen as well. Thought it interesting when Carrick was interviewed and the commentator said “whats it like going a goal down that early on, the fans stop singing for a while and they think it isn’t gonna be United’s day”. He replied “I think if the players felt like that we have problems, we always BELIEVE we will score”. Excellent stuff.
Fergie won his 34th Individual trophy, like his overall tally of trophies, I think that his 26th Manchester United Trophy.
Brilliant noise generated for the boys. Villa played their part too, was impressed with the stadium and the green and gold, just not the pitch!!
@ King Eric -link to the interview please..
anyway good to hear our lads so confident in their ability again, and if we being honest then really our fans are probably the only fans in the world who believe in the team till the very end i mean from turning it around in games like the spurs 5-3 etc to winning a cl final in stoppage time to closing a 12point gap in the prem league.. you’d be sill not to believe in united.. thanx SAF for instilling this spirit in the team
quiz… what has 34 full of silver in his cabinet?? what has 34 full of shit in their cabinet?? — U-N-I-T-E-D Utd are the team for me… lalalala~~
Gosh, SAF’s trophy haul is keeping pace with the bitter ticker!
I think the 34 trophies includes Charity/Community Shields. 26 not including. So his total is even better including what he achieved at Aberdeen.
I think as a Man United manager, Fergie has 31 trophies, 25 if you exclude the Charity Shield. Awesome…
Sorry but there was nothing fantastic about utds support yesterday. Quiet throughout the game until going 2-1 up then a bit of noise then quiet again. A bit like old trafford really…
Sorry guys, I got it wrong. It’s 34 trophies as United manager, 26 if you exclude Charity Shields.
34 trophies JUST at United? Really? I thought that was his total haul.
curtis – Sorry mate I haven’t got a link, it was just on MUTV after the game.
@King Eric
Yeah, that’s including everything. Charity Shields, Intercontinental cups, Super cups…
His total I think is 45!
To all united haters,u may not like sir alex but accept it he is the best.
IN SIR ALEX WE TRUST.
Best manager in the world, long live Fergie!
No comparison to any other manager, He is Manchester United.
