Ferguson: Latest Man Utd team keeps me young

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he can't believe he's completing 21 years at Old Trafford today.

And Fergie, 65, reckons the latest crop of United players keep any thoughts of retirement on the back burner.

He said: "It's amazing to think I've been here for 21 years.

"I've certainly had the key to the door for a while now!

"I guess I have to think about retiring at some stage but I still have plenty of ambition here and these young lads make me feel younger.

"I'm proud of the current team - they need a little bit of direction at times but they're showing fantastic enthusiasm for the game and there's a great spirit among them.

"At last Friday's training session I had to get Carlos Queiroz to tell them to stop because it was too good.

"We were due to play Arsenal the next day and I wanted them to keep that kind of football for the Saturday!"
