Fergie intent on working on at United

ALEX FERGUSON intends to carry on as Manchester United manager as long as he feels up to the job.

The Scot will celebrate an incredible 21 years at the Old Trafford helm in October, during which time he has become the most decorated British manager of all time.

With nine Premier League titles, five FA Cups, two League Cups and two major European trophies, including the 1999 Champions League, on his CV, Ferguson knows he could quit immediately and still be regarded as one of the finest managers football has ever known.

Looking ahead to the new campaign, Ferguson emphasised his health is the most important factor in how long he will carry on.

“I will never set a date to retire,” he said.

“There are several things to consider but when you get to my age, you have to consider your health.”
