Sir Alex Ferguson at manunited: its best transfers

Manchester United was more for alcohol excesses than for successes, as Scotland's resigned national coach Alex Ferguson, still without sir in the name, was committed in November 1986. That he should remain in office nearly 27 years would hardly be held in the early days the way a possible.

Only in 1993, the Red Devils should end below the bulkhead their 26 years lasting Cup misery, but subsequently launch a success story that reached its peak with the triple in 1999, continued to do so as a result, however, for a long time.

(. And a 13x Premier League, FA Cup 5x, 2x Champions League) is a key factor in Ferguson's long-term success was his lucky hand in the transfer market — demonstrates how the following listing.

1987: Steve Bruce from Norwich City (825,000 pounds)

In his first full season with the Red Devils committed in Ferguson defender Steve Bruce for 825,000 pounds (about 980,000 euros today) not only an important key player but also a capped top scorer (19 goals this season 1990/91). Bruce It was also in 1993 — on the home straight to Ferguson's first championship with United — with two late goals against Sheffield Wednesday laid one of the foundations for the so-called Fertile Time.

1990: Denis Irwin Old ham Athletic (625,000 pounds)

The very few full-backs who could play on at the top level both sides, counted Denis Irwin. The Irish flank and standard specialist came from the second division and so delivered reliably than almost any other — although he always stood in the shadow of more spectacular players. Sometime was underestimated as Irwin that he was probably still appreciated as it had earned his consistent performances.

1991: Peter Schnabel from Broadly IF (505,000 pounds)

Half a million for probably the best keeper of the 90s. No wonder that Peter Schnabel was (not only) once called the bargain of the century. Or obligation of the century, saying Ferguson. A year later, after Stomachers sensational European Championship success with Denmark, United would have more money must be put on the table considerably.

1992: Eric Cantona from Leeds United (1.2 million pounds)

Early 90s — also a very talented young guild to Ryan Riggs, Paul Sc holes and David Beckham was gradually introduced to the professionals — put Sir Alex together a team that should dominate the Unopened decade. Unleashed but this dominance is primarily a man: Eric Cantona. The even then did not unduly difficult current French champion in 1992 by Leeds United and its rousing in all respects sort of made the (series) champions Manchester United.

1993: Roy Keane from Nottingham Forest (3.75 million pounds)

Like to be whether his infamous character overlooked as an uncompromising Dazwischengrätscher, what a good footballer Roy Keane. The strategist came up with 22 years at Old Trafford, Ferguson than the large-years were just beginning only. How could they finally last long, which was due to a considerable proportion also the omnipresent and unconditionally demanding Keane.

The clever purchases like Canton (l.) And Solskjaer (3 v. L.) Harmonized with home-grown players like Beckham (2nd v. L.), Riggs (4 v. L.) Or Butt (r.). Imago sport photoservices

1996: Ole Gunnar Solskjær Mode OK (1.6 million pounds)

Its manageable transfer fee took Ole Gunnar Solskjær — often — alone already by his legendary winning goal in the Champions League final in 1999 in again. In his first season, however, the Norwegian was also the top scorer of the club. In subsequent years, Solskjaer was variable and can be used repeatedly as a wild card — and was therefore of great value.

, 2003: Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting CP (12.25 million pounds)

Five awards World Footballer really were not yet in sight in 2003, although CR7 designed to present a Red Devils himself in a preseason game. Among other things, the then arch-rival Arsenal successfully upstaged — although United have with the Portuguese to the CL title in 2008 once had patience.

, 2005: Edwin van der SAR from Fulham (2 million pounds)

How Did Sir Alex Ferguson Rebuild Manchester United?

Although van der SAR had already arrived with 34 in the year, they marveled that the Champions League winners ended with Ajax and revolutionary of modern goalkeeping at Fulham and was loszueisen for two million pounds. The Dutchman was the only goalkeeper with Ferguson will, which could be called flattering in one breath. In the Champions League final in 2008 van der SAR stopped the decisive penalty.

, 2006: Demand Vedic from Sparta Moscow (7 million pounds)

One of the most outstanding winter transfers that you can imagine. Who is the best defender of the Premier League era, is being discussed — that Vedic and Rio Ferdinand formed the best inner-defender duo, but hardly. A central component of United's last very large team, which was mastered three times in succession from 2007 and stood in the CL final 2008 and 2009.

2006: Patrice Evra by AS Monaco (5.5 million pounds)

In the same transfer period as Vedic — in the middle of the regency of Mourinho Chelsea — Sir Alex also committed left-back Era, which finally close the gap left by Irwin and developed on his position to one of Europe's best players. A work animal who neither neglected offensive nor defensive neglected and that like Vedic part of the four-chain of the last major hurrahs until today was.

Sometimes you have to grab deeper into your pocket...

Ferguson also landed some full hits that did not just walk as surprises and therefore were a bit more expensive. For Andy Cole (1995, 7 million pounds of Newcastle United), Rued Van Nistelrooy (2001, 19 million pounds of PSV Eindhoven), Rio Ferdinand (2002, approx. 30 million pounds of Leeds United), record shooter Wayne Rooney (2004, 27 Million pounds of FC Everton) and Robin Van Persia (2012, 24 million pounds of Arsenal) reached the Walther Baseman winner of 2016 deep into his pocket. But that's how success.
