Fergie considering retiring as Manchester United manager before end of the week

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is expected to make an announcement about his future at the club soon.

As rumours of the 71-year-old’s imminent retirement swept Manchester, senior figures at the club failed to respond to repeated attempts to confirm or deny the story, which emerged following United’s player versus coaches golf day at Dunham Massey on Tuesday afternoon.

The Scott is booked in for surgery immediately after the club return from a three-week pre-season tour at the end of July.

Meanwhile, he has been with Man Utd for 26years.
