Football is littered with tales of stubborn keepers who refuse to vacate the pitch despite the pleas of coaches and medical staff. One of the most well-known instances in recent memory involves Kepa Arrizabalaga during the League Cup final, but long before that, Manchester United's Les Sealey exhibited similar tenacity. His remarkable determination in the 1991 final not only saved Sir Alex Ferguson's career but also nearly cost him his leg.
The story of Manchester United is not just a list of trophies won and legendary players. Long before Old Trafford became the Theatre of Dreams, the club was founded in 1878 as a modest amateur team made up of railway workers. What followed became a narrative of survival, tragedy, epic rebirth, and boundless ambition that shaped one of the largest football institutions on the planet.
Since the formation of the Premier League in 1992, only 13 managers have led their clubs to the championship title, with just four achieving this feat more than once. Evaluating the greatness of these coaches based on trophies, longevity, and their impact on football, BBC Sport has compiled a ranking of the ten best managers in the tournament's history.
