His son Jordi however, transferred to Manchester United in the summer of 1996 for £1.4 million on a four-year contract; having impressed Sir Alex Ferguson with his displays at the Camp Nou, and with Holland at Euro 1996 which was held in England. During Cruyff’s tenure at the club, Maccabi Tel Aviv managed to win three league titles in a row, as well as three domestic cups despite selling some key players along the way such as Erhan Zahavi and Munas Dabbur. His United career started quickly with two goals in his next two games against Everton and Blackburn, before a bad knee injury in November that season saw the Dutchman lose his place in the Manchester United starting line-up. Cruyff appointed fellow Dutchman Ton Caanen as head coach, who had previously been his manager at Valetta. Cruyff believed that Ayestaran didn’t maximise the potential of the squad, despite winning every trophy that the club entered that season. April 2015 saw Jordi renew his contract for a further two years, despite plenty of interest from several German Bundesliga clubs. This move further enhanced the performance of the team, as Maccabi won the league by a margin of 16 points; as well as having a successful Europa League campaign, as they advanced to the knockout phase following a tough group stage draw. In Cruyff’s time at Manchester United he did win the Premier League in 1996/1997 and the UEFA Champions League in 1999 following three group stage appearances despite having been loaned out to Spanish La Liga side Celta Vigo for the second half of the treble winning season.Following what turned out to be an unfortunate stint for Cruyff at United due to injury problems, the Dutchman’s contract was not renewed following the 1999/2000 season.

Cruyff was to return to Spain to join Deportivo Alaves, and stayed with the Spanish outfit up until the end of the 2002/2003 season when they were relegated to the Spanish Segunda.

This meant that their qualifying games to reach the group stages of the UEFA Champions League would have to be held away from Israel, as a result the Tel Aviv based club didn’t enter the competition due to inconvenience and fears for their safety. He then turned down a contract renewal from the Barcelona based club and decided to retire to join his family’s clothing brand before coming out of retirement in 2006 to play for Metalurh Donetsk in Ukraine for two seasons. His first managerial appointment upon arrival was to sign Oscar Garcia, who was a youth coach at Barcelona. He then finished his playing career at Maltese Premier League side Valetta in 2010 after just one season there. Manchester United Man Utd: 8 (0) 3 Other Competitions: 1998/1999.

Under Cruyff's and Garcia's stewardship, in their first season at the club, Maccabi dominated the league and claimed their first title in ten years by thirteen points ahead of their nearest rival; doing so as the league's highest scorers, with 78 goals scored, whilst only conceding 30.Following Garcia’s growing reputation amongst European football, the Spanish coach was signed by English Championship side Brighton and Hove Albion.

"Cruyff felt while he had similar abilities to the players around him, his lack of training held him back. Following Cruyff’s departure, he joined Chinese Super League side Chongqing Dangdai Lifan for the 2018/19 season.
