About this listen
Before, during and after Manchester United
Alex is the most up-to-date biography of Sir Alex Ferguson, the most decorated manager in British football history.
Find out how he recovered from his brain surgery in 2018, why he appointed David Moyes as his successor, how livid he was when Moyes was sacked 10 months later, what he thought of Louis van Gaal’s tenure as Manchester United manager, what he thought of Jose Mourinho’s reign, and just how big a role he played in the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
This book also takes a deep dive into Alex’s relationship with the Glazer family and how he views the work carried out by Ed Woodward.

Fantastic read, with great narration.
Very interesting to hear of the life behind football. I’d highly recommended to any football fan, or even sports fan.

Excellent book
Not a football fan in the least but fully aware of this man and the legend that he is made me buy this. It’s very very good. His narration is excellent. Stories interesting and relatable. Driving for a living made the long roads fly by.

Fascinating insight.
This is - by far - the best book written about Fergie. It goes in depth into how he ruled as a manager, as well into who he is as a person, opening the doors to his private life. The best insight dives deep into everything that happened at Manchester United since he retired, gifting insight into Moyes, Mourinho, Van Gaal etc. it also describes Fergie’s thoughts on the Glazer family and their ownership of Man United. A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO CALLS THEMSELF A MAN U FAN.

Good insights, awful narration
Enjoyed this. Some new insights and updated to include recent events. However, the narrator mispronounced quite a number of football terms, and wasn’t suited to the subject matter. Also, there were everlasting factual errors within the books.

United Champion, for many years the boss, and we adore you!
Largely enjoyable, somewhat disappointed that no one listened to it before it was published. Whatever about mispronouncing Arbeloa and Pittodrie and many others, how can "camaraderie" be let slide. A couple of glaring inaccuracies too, which will perhaps make you doubt the accuracy of many other stories...
Huge United fan, and enjoyed the book, worth a listen for all Reds.
