Op is either a child, a troll, or an ed Woodward type who couldn't tell you the difference between a centre half and centre parks.
There is no United Way it’s Fergie’s way

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
You do realise that United existed before Fergie, "we were crap before him", Busby babes, Best, Charlton etc. late 70s under Tommy Doc, Whiteside and the boys in the early mid 80s.
Do yourself a favour and delete this embarrassing post.
The "United way", isn't a style or philosophy, it's the belief in young players and taking chances.
Wow! Helmet
@432JuanMata had you had a few when you started this thread last night? If so fair play but if you were stone cold sober....
There's no Barcelona way it's the Cruyff and Pep way.
This is silly. SAF and Busby (can we not forget him?) are part of the fabric of the club. Their way is our way. They represented abs managed the club rather than being out there on their own. So it's United who played that way and did those things. Also, do people really believe one individual did everything? It was a team effort. That's what makes it a club FFS.

Genuinely curious @432JuanMata, what prompted this brainfart of an OP?
Sir Matt gave blood for this club LITERALLY and set the club on its trajectory. This club would be far far lesser without him. It’s true that things got a bit messy between him and Fergie but no team can stay at the top forever.
What I would give for either of them over the last few years.

"There is no United way, there's a SMB and SAF way", would be a fair thread.
The problem is their tenure spanned nearly 55 years which in football terms is far more time than could ever be required to deem something "a way".
If this period of time weren't enough to define a style, club and a philosophy; then no clue can process to have an ethos.

A WUM thread if ever I've read one. @432JuanMata.
Wum thread or not, to be fair "the United way" has always been an empty cliche.
"We don't sack our managers, it's not the United way" etc etc. Bollocks. We only don't sack our managers when they win relentlessly.

I'm going with alcohol.
Our club is built from the Munich aircrash and our glory in 68. That’s the best backstory in the history of football period.
We may never be Real Madrid or Barcelona when it comes to glory or winning titles but our story is better than either with more heart and fight than either. Less corruption and politics than either too. Same goes for Juve, AC Milan and Bayern.
We are the fairytale club and Fergie especially in 99 added to our mystique. We may never have been the best of the best in world football on the pitch but we will always be viewed as the greatest club by a selection of supporters.
We had some pretty lame / mediocre years between Busby and Fergie imo. 2 men essentially built our club. Real Madrid just throw money at everything since the 50’s it’s hard not to be a success there when Messi isn’t playing for Barcelona
