Three more years for Ferguson

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson intends to lead the club for at least another three years.

Ferguson has told his players he wants to get United back on top and land more trophies before going out on a high.

Winger Ryan Giggs recently signed a two-year extension to his contract, which will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2008.

And he told the Daily Mirror: "The boss encouraged me to sign and indicated he would be here for at least that length of time.

"He said he wants to stay for a number of reasons. He wants to get United back to the top and to see the likes of Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Darren Fletcher become world-class players.

"The manager also wants to win more trophies and make sure that when he does eventually go, he goes on a high."
