Manchester United have failed to win the Premier League ever since Sir Alex Ferguson retired and now the fans will be in for a bit more shock.
Ever since Sir Alex stepped down, the Red Devils have changed three full-time managers with each promising better things than others – but delivering nothing.
The Scotsman stepped down as the manager of Man United in 2013 after which David Moyes took over the job.
But now Sir Alex has revealed in his book, Leading that he had actually offered the job to Pep Guardiola.
Yes, Pep Guardiola who is currently ruling the Premier League with Manchester City.
Six months before Sir Alex Ferguson parted ways with Man United he had met Pep Guardiola for a dinner in New York and subtly offered him the job of being the next manager at Old Trafford.
And here’s why he chose not to join the biggest team in England(atleast in 2013).

Speaking in 2017, Pep Guardiola said: “My English in that period was not as good as it is right now – and so maybe I just didn’t understand what Sir Alex said,
“We met in a magnificent restaurant for dinner and I think he has said he suggested to me something about going to Old Trafford.
“But I really don’t remember that! We spoke about life, about football, about the Premier League. But there was no message sent to me under the table about United. I think I would remember that!
“It was just two friends, two colleagues in football, talking about many things. But what I do remember is that Sir Alex spoke really fast and it was difficult to understand him! But it was nice because he chose an amazing restaurant – and of course, he paid!”
