The Legacy
Alex Ferguson took charge at Old Trafford in November 1986, succeeding Ron Atkinson as Manchester United finished 11th in the First Division. Adidas produced this home shirt while Sharp appeared as the front sponsor. Bryan Robson captained the side, regularly linking up with Norman Whiteside and Gordon Strachan in midfield. The team struggled to find form throughout the autumn months, but the appointment of Ferguson signaled the start of a major rebuilding project at the club. This home shirt remains synonymous with that difficult changing of the guard.
