ALEX Ferguson has quashed retirement talk by revealing he has no plans to step down as Manchester United manager in the near future.
Ferguson, who turned 71 on Monday, has been forced to deal with questions about his retirement plans since the time he reversed his decision to leave the club in 2002. The Scot has been in charge since 1986.
"I'm hoping to stay on for a bit of time," he said. "It's very difficult. Over the years, names have been bandied about but football is such a precarious industry.
"But you could be talking about one of the potentially exciting young managers in the game, but is he going to be here in two or three years' time?
"The sack race is horrendous. Sometimes a manager can only survive four games if he doesn't win a match. Top managers will always been in demand but nobody knows where they are going to be in two or three years' time."
Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and David Moyes are some of the names that crop up as suitable replacement.
