Sir Alex Ferguson has denied all claims suggesting that he is considering retirement.

The Scottish manager has been in charge at Manchester United for 21 years winning nine Premier League titles, five FA Cups and the lone Champions League title in the magical treble year of 1999.

The 66 year old has tipped his deputy, Carlos Quieroz and his son Darren Ferguson (manager of Peterborough United) to take over once he hangs up his boots. (Not on David Beckham's face again!)

Going into final weekend of the season where United face Wigan at the JJB Stadium while title rivals Chelsea play host to Bolton, Sir Alex appeared confident that he would lift his 10th League title.

Sir Alex Ferguson also revealed he hopes to put out a full strength team against Wigan on Sunday and is expecting Wayne Rooney to be fit to appear.

Ferguson's rein at the helm of Manchester United has seen many great players including the likes of Roy Keane, Brian McClair, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ryan Giggs, Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes, Bryan Robson, David Beckham and lately the magical duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.

Sir Alex has rubbished suggestions that he will retire even if he wins the Champions League.

"I plan on going on for as long as possible, even if we win in Moscow."

  1. I'm glad he is going on. In my opinion, one of the best managers to ever live!
