"This Manchester United team does not understand the word defeat", Sir Alex Fergusson once famously said. The presence of experienced heads in the team is what the team's star manager, Alex Fergusson, always values.

Ever since manager Sir Ferguson ended the 26 year drought of the team to win the Premier League crown in 1993, he has exhibited an uncanny ability to choose a team that somehow jells together to emerge as a victorious unit. This is clearly reflected by the fact that Manchester United is the most successful Premier League club, winning the title a record eleven times.

Sir Alex Fergusson's contribution

The treble winning season of 1998 was the ultimate crowning moment for the most successful manager in English football, Sir Alex Fergusson.

Manchester United won the Premiership, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League in the same season. They won a hat-trick of victories in 2008/09 season and also won the famed Carling Cup. Their defeat in the Champions league final to Barcelona was the only dark spot.

The team is heavily influenced by the philosophy of the greatest manager football ...
... has known. He has clearly shown on more occasion than one that the team is certainly many times bigger than the stars that adorn it.

The team that Alex Fergusson picks is certainly influenced by the fact that succession is crucial for a team to be continuously and consistently successful. The approach of the genius manager is quite different from how other top European clubs operate. While they focus on playing experienced veterans by paying premium amounts for their availability, Manchester United has always gunned for youth.

It is not that the most successful manager has not tasted defeat. Chelsea ruined their winning spells with some dazzling football in 2005 and 2006.

But like true champions, they roared back in 2007 to win the Barclays Premiership. "Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat and I expect us to do that" was Sir Fergusson's cold logic that helped the team put back major defeats behind it every time they lost a major match.
