Ferguson explains why Man Utd are 'unlucky' not to be challenging Chelsea

The iconic former Red Devils boss believes Jose Mourinho's side would be competing for the Premier League title had their home form been better

Sir Alex Ferguson considers Manchester United to have been “unlucky” this season but believes Champions League qualification is within reach.

The Red Devils have undergone another period of transition in 2016-17, the third time they have had to make such adjustments since seeing an iconic presence depart the dugout in 2013.

On the back of Ferguson’s retirement, United have struggled for stability and consistency.

David Moyes and Louis van Gaal have come and gone without ever threatening to build a dynasty similar to that of a legendary predecessor.
