Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed what he misses most about football.

The 73-year old retired from management at the end of the 2012/13 season after a glittering career with Aberdeen and the Red Devils that spanned four decades.

When asked by former snooker world champion John Parrott what he misses about being involved in football, Ferguson said on the BBC: "The camaraderie, humour, mickey taking and winning - we're all here to win."

During his sparkling managerial days, Ferguson won 13 Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, five FA Cups and four League Cups among others at United while clinching three Scottish titles, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Super Cup with Aberdeen.
