Inside the Manchester United dressing-room as Alex Ferguson recovers from the brink of the sack to bring trophies back to the club.

Kelly Cates and Jonathan Northcroft explain how Ferguson ruthlessly cleared out United heroes like Paul McGrath and Norman Whiteside to build a team in his image.

We hear from key players like Steve Bruce, Dennis Irwin and Gary Pallister as Ferguson ends United’s 26-year-wait for a top-flight title to lay the foundations for an era of total dominance.
