6 1/2 years. In his first full season in charge, he took us to 2nd place. Rafa hasn't got past 3rd place, despite spending £197.92m (£73.72m more than United). We had 3 awful seasons after that though (although we still won the FA Cup).
Also, Jayde - when SAF took charge at United you actually had to win the league to get in the European Cup, and even if he had won the league there was a ban on English clubs in Europe for reasons I need not go into. In the first year English clubs were allowed back into Europe we won the European Cup Winners Cup.
And Crisby Duck - you couldn't be more wrong. Scholes made his debut in 1994 - during Feruson's 9th (8th full) season in charge. He was (the season after) one of the "Kids" that Hanson said we'd never win anything with after an opening day loss to Villa (United were double winners that season, with Scholes scoring 14 goals).
even though i'm not a man u fan, it took him about 7 years, while brian clough took nottingham forest from being an average 2nd division side to twice european champions in 5 and a half years, which i expect ferguson wouldn't of been able to do, and about ferguson, i wonder if he would of got the sack in 1990, if forest had beaten man u in the 3rd round
How long did it take ferguson to win a league with manchester united ?
