The season that followed demonstrated why Ferguson deserves to be seen as the greatest manager the modern game has produced, with Manchester United deposing Chelsea as Premier League champions and eventually seeing off José Mourinho. Ferguson would later call it the 'greatest achievement' of his time at England’s biggest football club.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis Is The One\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the close-up, warts-and-all account of what happened during those two helterskelter seasons – the excruciating lows and the exhilarating highs.
