    This is particularly funny cause his attack won him more titles than his defence did. I think he actually won the prem with the worst defence

    “In fact, Sir Alex was the master for winning titles with an inferior defence - mitigated with a league-topping attack. Manchester United only had the seventh best defence when they won the title in 1996/97, shipping 44 goals - Blackburn conceded fewer and finished in 13th place. And Fergie continued in the same vein, having only the fourth best defence in 1998/99, the sixth best in 1999/00 and fifth best in 2012/13. In each of those title-winning seasons, United scored more goals than any other team.”
