Sir Alex Ferguson is undoubtedly one of the best managers that the Premier League has ever seen.
His near-27 years as the man in charge of Manchester United saw him enjoy a stunning spell of domination that took the Red Devils to the top of the domestic, European and world game.
Sir Alex Ferguson turned Man United into the dominant Premier League side of the 1990s
Ferguson deserves huge credit for that, particularly given the competition that he's faces.
Turning 80 years old today, Sir Alex pitted his wits against the likes of Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, Kevin Keegan, Rafa Benitez, Roberto Mancini and Claudio Ranieri amongst others as he battled for silverware during his time at Old Trafford.
That dominance was a tough act to follow as well with the likes of David Moyes, Mourinho, Louis Van Gaal and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer struggling to live up to the bar that was set by Fergie.
If he was still managing to this day, it would take a brave person to bet against him continuing that dominance, but how does Ferguson's record compare with the current Premier League elite? We take a look.
Sir Alex Ferguson
Trophies: 38
League titles: 13
Domestic cups: 9
Champions League: 2
FIFA Club World Cup: 1
Fergie's time with Manchester United was arguably the most successful reign in top-flight history.
A tally of 38 trophies, 13 league titles and two Champions League wins has cemented him as a Man United great and a very tough act for anyone to follow.
Ferguson won 38 major trophies during his time as United boss
Pep Guardiola
League titles: 9
Domestic cups: 9
Champions League: 2
FIFA Club World Cup: 3
The Manchester City boss would have enjoyed a heck of a battle with Sir Alex.
Arguably the best manager in world football right now, the City boss continues to hit new heights and his tactical innovation is a constant source for bosses all over the world.
Guardiola will no doubt go down as one of the best managers ever when he eventually retires
Jurgen Klopp
League titles: 3
Domestic cups: 1
Champions League: 1
FIFA Club World Cup: 1
United's arch rivals are certainly the real deal under Jurgen Klopp.
After an impressive spell with Dortmund, he has really kicked on at Anfield by adding some of the biggest trophies to the club's trophy cabinets.
Jurgen Klopp has over seen a return to glory for Liverpool
Thomas Tuchel
League titles: 2
Domestic cups: 3
Champions League: 1
The Chelsea boss is regarded as one of the best young managers in world football.
With six trophies to his name already, the ex-PSG head coach is a proven winner and looks set for a long and successful career at the top of the game.
Thomas Tuchel is regarded as one of the best young managers in the world
Antonio Conte
League titles: 5
Domestic cups: 1
The Italian boss moved to Tottenham earlier this year and faces a really tough challenge.
Conte has won five league titles already in his career but if he's to add to that then there will be some significant work to do in North London.
Conte has an impressive record and will be hoping to continue that with Spurs
