Sir Alex gives frank and brutal prediction for Man United in PL, says that it could take a decade to win the League.
Sir Alex Ferguson claims Manchester United could be 10 years from winning title.
Ruben Amorim publicly disagreed with the club’s most successful manager when Sir Alex Ferguson said it might take Manchester United another “10 or 11 years” to win the championship.
Ferguson was asked whether a 21st trophy might be added to United’s collection after winning 13 of the team’s 20 league titles, the most recent in 2013.
“It could be 10 years, could be 11,” Ferguson told Press Box PR. “I remember looking back on my own time, starting off [in November 1986] when Liverpool were the bee’s knees. They were a fantastic club, winning the European Cup four times, but then it took them 31 [actually 30] years to win the league again [after 1990]. We are now in the same situation [as Liverpool in the 1990s].”
Amorim responded diplomatically but suggested the wait for another title would not extend to a decade. “He [Ferguson] understands football more than me, especially English football,” the Portuguese said. “We will not take that long to win a league [though] I don’t know which manager [will be here then].”
