Sir Alex Ferguson insists that he will be staying on at
Manchester United, even if they complete a remarkable double this
season.
At the start of the season, many suggested that the Red Devils
would use this term as one of transition - but instead they are now
on the brink of regaining the Premier League title, whilst also
making the Champions League final.
Should United claim the championship, that would make them
England's most successful side taking them to 19 titles - one ahead
of rivals Liverpool.
And it has been suggested that Ferguson may stand-down once he
has overhauled Liverpool - but he insists that is not in his
thoughts.
"I will be here next season," insisted 69-year-old Ferguson, who
has a rolling contract at United and will be allowed to continue as
long as he wants.
He previously announced he would step down in 2002, only to
change his mind and he insists he will not be making a decision
like that again.
"There obviously will be a point when I do quit and when it is I
absolutely have no idea because I tried that and it was an absolute
disaster," he said.
"I was in agony, absolute agony. My wife made me change my mind
and she was dead right.
"I think she thought she would soon be fed up with me around the
house."
