Sir Alex Ferguson will on Sunday lead the Manchester United team out for the last time at the Old Trafford after 27 years as the manager of the English Premier League champions.
Sir Alex, a he is fondly called by some, will be in the home dugout for the final time as Manchester United face Swansea City in their final home game of the 2012-2013 campaign.
Ferguson, who started as a bright young coach from Aberdeen, has initially become Manchester United itself.
Everything surrounding the club in the modern era is built in his image and to his expectations and the 71-year-old will retire at the end of this season with a 13th English title under his belt, leaving a gaping hole in the club and the hearts of supporters that will be impossible to fill.
The day is set for Manchester United’s 20th title celebrations and Sir Alex Ferguson will do his utmost to make sure this occurs, yet there is no getting away from the fact May 12, 2013 will be all about Sir Alex Ferguson.
Manchester United head into their final home game of the season, as it was last season, against Swansea City with only West Bromwich Albion to come at The Hawthorns next Sunday in what will be Sir Alex’s 1500th and final game in charge of Manchester United.
In what is likely to be the final professional football game for Paul Scholes, arguably the greatest midfielder ever produced in England, he will also be looking to sign off with a good performance against Swansea
