Man Utd boss still not considering retirement

Sir Alex Ferguson states he is 'in no mood' to retire as Manchester United manager. The 68-year-old Scot, who is on a rolling contract at Old Trafford, says he still retains the hunger and desire to continue managing the Red Devils.

Chief executive David Gill recently admitted he had not discussed this issue of retirement with Ferguson for quite a while.

Ferguson has now put an end to recent speculation that he may quit at the end of the season by making it clear he is going nowhere.

Speaking at a sports congress in Doha, he said: "I'm in no mood for it (retiring). As long as my health is good I intend to carry on.

"If my health deteriorated it would be different but retirement is for young people - they can do something else.

"If I get off that treadmill where do you think I'd go - only one way, down."
