Manchester United's First Squad Photos Through The Years (PICTURES)

United's First Squad Photo Under Moyes

Manchester United's official squad photo was taken without Sir Alex Ferguson for the first time in 27 years today, as David Moyes filled the managerial hot seat.

Not since Ron Atkinson was in charge at the start of the 1986-87 campaign has a United squad picture not featured Ferguson, who succeeded the Liverpudlian in November 1986.

The timing was good for Moyes, fresh from his first defeat of Liverpool as United boss after the weekend's derby debacle at City.

Few squad photocalls under Ferguson didn't feature a trophy, unlike the post-Sir Matt Busby era.
