10 former Manchester United players who went into management

For 26 years, Manchester United were managed by one of, if not the greatest coach to ever touch the game. Sir Alex Ferguson guided the Red Devils to 13 league titles, two Champions Leagues, and many other domestic trophies.

You’d think that those who played under him would have picked up a thing or two from his tutelage, and gone on to be successful managers themselves. Well, football isn’t always that simple.

Wayne Rooney is the latest of Fergie’s disciples to take the leap into management, taking charge at Derby County.

How will he fare? I guess we’ll find out.
