Sir Alex Ferguson not making a return to Manchester United

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out a return to football after the club's stuttering start to the season under new boss David Moyes.

The red devils have struggled so far and find themselves languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table after just six rounds of matches. However, the old Scot has rejected suggestions that he might make a return to the club he was at for 26 years.


In an interview aired on American television network PBS, Ferguson said: "I'm not interested in managing again or getting myself worked up about Manchester United's results.


"United are in good hands with David Moyes. He will be fine. He's a good manager.


"You would be throwing your money down the drain if you put any money on me coming back as a manager.


"I made my decision. The timing was perfect. There is no way back for me now. I've got a new life. I want to go to the Kentucky Derby and the US Masters, the Melbourne Cup. I want to visit vineyards in Tuscany and France."


Sir Alex, widely regarded as one of the greatest football managers of all time, decided to call an end to his managerial regime at Old Trafford following their title winning campaign last season. However, he revealed that the Blues tried to bring him to Stamford Bridge following Roman Abramovich's takeover back in 2003.


He added: "They used an agent to approach me when Abramovich first took over the club and I said, 'No chance'.


"I always come back to this point - why would you leave?"
