After 26 incredible years at the club, Sir Alex Ferguson took charge of his 1,500th and final Manchester United game in May 2013.
Ferguson, who had just won his 13th Premier League title, watched on as United played out an entertaining 5-5 draw with West Brom on the final day of the season.
We’ve taken a look back at their side from that day to see how those players have fared since.
GK: Anders Lindegaard
Lindegaard failed to usurp David de Gea as United’s first-choice goalkeeper but still made 10 Premier League appearances in 2012-13, earning himself a winner’s medal in the process.
“I’m super proud of it, but it was not me who won that title,” he told the Guardian in November 2021. “I’m aware that in the great history of Manchester United I’m a whisper in the wind.”
The Denmark international moved to The Hawthorns on a permanent basis in 2015 before having brief stints at Preston North End and Burnley.
He’s now back in Scandinavia with Swedish side Helsingborg and scored his first career goal in July 2020.

But he fell out of favour under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and was released by United at the end of the 2018-19 season, ending his 10-year stint at Old Trafford.
The 37-year-old then spent two years in Ecuador and then Mexico with LDU Quito and Queretaro before hanging up his boots in May 2021.

CB: Phil Jones
Jones joined United from Blackburn in 2011 and established himself as a regular under Ferguson, who tipped the defender for a bright future at Old Trafford.
“Jones, arguably the way he is looking, could be our best ever player,” Ferguson said in April 2013. “I think Jones may be one of the best players we have ever had, no matter where we play him.
“At 21 years of age, he is going to be a phenomenal player. I think he can play anywhere on the pitch. He has such a massive influence, with his instinct and reading of the…
