Sir Alex Ferguson reveals his most cherished memory at Manchester United was ending fans 'suffering' in 1993 after 26 years without a league title

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed his most cherished memory during his highly decorated career as Manchester United manager was ending the club's 26-year wait for a league title in the 1992-93 campaign.

Before the legendary former boss took over, United had not won a league title since 1966-67 under Matt Busby.

But after signing Eric Cantona from Leeds for £1.2million and a crucial victory against Sheffield Wednesday thanks to two late Steve Bruce goals, the Red Devils finished top of the league and won the first Premier League title by 10 points from Aston Villa.
