Now the news is official, many Red Devils fans are trying to contemplate life without Fergie – something that was almost unthinkable only last week.
The 71-year-old Scot was thought to have a list of players that he wanted to bring to the club this summer as he looked to continue his rebuilding mission at Old Trafford despite claiming the Premier League title back from City.
