Explanation

Sir Alex Ferguson replaced Ron Atkinson as Manchester United manager in November 1986. Atkinson was sacked after a poor start to the 1986-87 season. Frank O'Farrell and Scott Duncan were managers from much earlier eras (1970s and 1930s respectively), while Matt Busby was the legendary manager from the 1950s-60s, not Ferguson's immediate predecessor.
