The banner displayed during the Tottenham match has drawn comparisons to another famous moment in United’s history. In 1989, disgruntled fans unveiled a sign aimed at then-manager Sir Alex Ferguson, reading, "Three years of excuses and it’s still crap. Ta ra Fergie." However, Ferguson went on to cement his legacy by leading United to unparalleled success, including 13 league titles and two Champions League trophies before his retirement in 2013.
