Souness: “Ferguson has been a great icon of the Premier League era; mainly because he let Pogba leave the Premier League.”

[alm]

Sir Alex Ferguson has retired

Souness: "Yes, Pogba is just not good enough"

[s.o]

See you after 10 years when this is recommended to me again outta nowhere

[nanaquashie]

If someone had said they would have gone 7 seasons without a league title, I would have laughed!

[cadajada]

"100% certain that a new man will be his choice as well."
And will that be a good thing for Man Utd?
"Oh yeah"

[matt_crawford]

Souness: "Yes Sir Alex has chosen to leave the club but you've got to ask yourself, does Pogba look like he wants to be there? It's Pogba lack of commitment to the club thats more concerning"

[PlayerIeMaynooth]

Sadly Moyes didnt take his advise. Brought is mid table backroom staff with him and united ended up mid table. No surprise. Moyes should have made less changes at the club at the start and embraced what ferguson had built.

“The team should only get better” if only he knew 😂😂

[AxxSir]

"You've just gotta look and ask could Pogba have done more here to stop Sir Alex from retiring"

[isaacvilly]

I celebrated this being a Liverpool fan...while he was still manager I hated him but after his retirement I could finally say what an absolute legend he'll go down as.

[aymaanchowdhury]

And United were never the same ever again

[lorcanmckee]

"He's got a team that appears to be going forward" lol. Ferguson clearly knew it was time to go

[LiamTalksFootball]

Legendary manager one of the best of all time

[ay]

When u look back I don't think anyone is surprised but at the time everyone was, I remember that day. And David Gill retired also, that really signified the end of man us run. But people must remember man u weren't always Champions infact there was a 26 year gap since their last league win under Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex.

I love the way before he retired it was, he has got a young side that can only improve. Then straight after he retired every manager. 'I inherited an ageing side that are all coming to the end of their football careers'

Wouldn’t be surprised if Souness blamed Sir Alex’s retirement on Pogba to be honest

[JMac_]

His wife lost her sister which was the biggest factor, he probably would given it another couple of years if that wasnt the case. He pretty much knew he was going when the league was wrapped up
