Ferguson staying at Old Trafford, says Gill

AS CHELSEA try to contain the fall-out from Jose Mourinho’s shock departure, Manchester United chief executive David Gill has confirmed Alex Ferguson will remain at Old Trafford for a few years yet.

“Alex has a good few years ahead of him, so succession plans are not on the agenda at the moment,” Gill told BBC Radio 5 yesterday.

“As and when Alex decides to step down we will look at all possibilities but we have a great team managing Manchester United on the pitch at the moment and we see no reason to change that at all.”
