During his 11 years at Old Trafford, Manager Alex Ferguson has bought and sold a lot of players.... Some successful, some not, but it is true to say that he has spent his money wisely and not gone overboard.
Alex has broke world records for buying players, such as Gary Pallister, Roy Keane, Andy Cole, Jaap Stam and Dwight Yorke.
But even though he has the money to spend, he hasn't had to spend it to get four Premiership league titles. He depends heavily on the youth system at Old Trafford, and there should be no one questioning him on this policy. Many of his players are Established England Internationals and he says that the youth team he has now is better than the past-youth team who are in the first team now.
Here is the list of FERGIES FLEDGLINGS.
DAVID BECKHAM, GARY NEVILLE, PHILIP NEVILLE, RYAN GIGGS, PAUL SCHOLES, NICKY BUTT, JOHN O'KANE, WES BROWN...that's a lot of money saved don't you think!!!!
