Ferguson rules out management return

Manchester United’s worst start to a league season in 24 years, former boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists he will not consider returning to management.

In an hour-long interview with US television network PBS, Ferguson said: “I made my decision. The timing was perfect. There is no way back for me now. I’ve got a new life.

United are 12th in the Premier League under David Moyes, who took charge after his fellow Scot retired in May.

“I’m not interested in managing again, getting myself worked up,” Ferguson said. “United are in good hands. David will be fine. He’s a good manager.”

He also added Roman Abramovich wanted him to take charge at Chelsea when he bought the club in 2003.
