The Goal that Kickstarted Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United Dynasty

About this book

The fascinating story of Manchester United's 1989/90 campaign – one of the most pivotal in the club's history – and the goal that kick-started Sir Alex Ferguson's epoch-making rein.

Foreword by acclaimed Manchester United author Wayne Barton.

United were at a turning point in the winter of the 1989/90 season. Ferguson had arrived three years earlier to try to end a two-decade wait to lift the First Division title. The gifted Scot had brought unprecedented success to Aberdeen, but the Old Trafford faithful were starting to get restless. Money had been spent but the team were no nearer to their goal of reaching the pinnacle of English football.

With fans calling for the head of the man in the dugout, the club's board of directors had reached a fork in the road. Would they bring in another new manager now or wait and see how the FA Cup run played out? There was going to be a hero, but little did he know the importance of that goal.

This is the compelling story of how the Red Devils inadvertently embarked on a period of domination beyond anyone's wildest dreams.
