"The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about. It is the right time," Ferguson said.

"It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so.

"The quality of this league winning squad, and the balance of ages within it, bodes well for continued success at the highest level whilst the structure of the youth set-up will ensure that the long-term future of the club remains a bright one.

"Going forward, I am delighted to take on the roles of both Director and Ambassador for the club. With these activities, along with my many other interests, I am looking forward to the future.

Not a Man U fan but totally shocked to hear that.

Sad day for your club and football in general.

The greatest manager in my time and I'm in my late twenties (34).

Wonder if there is substance in the Moyes rumours then?
 
When Cantona retired that was the worst but this is on another level, Thankyou Sir Alex for the most amazing 26 yrs of football, your a living legend and the next man has the biggest of shoes to fill. Just Gutted
 
A truly great football manager who re-invented your team so many times that the only job for him now in retirement is to re-invent the wheel; yes, he'll be able to do that.

You'll never replace him but Moyes or Mourinho will be the choices now. If you want continuity gor for "Big" David Moyes.
 
Superb news.

To be honest, it's probably a big compliment to the guy that so many rival fans are delighted he's going.

Moyes and Mourinho's styles fits the squad best but I honestly think it's too late to get Jose and Moyes is a big gamble, I'm sure those in charge don't want to get into the hiring and firing every couple of years now. Christian Gross and Juande Ramos are top managers if you need any recommendations <whistle>
 
Goodbye

From a Stoke fan...
I heard the rumours last night and there is one word to describe Sir Alex.
LEGEND
I've have watched football for well over 50 years and he was "Simply the best" Good luck Sir Alex!

On a lighter note.. Do you want Tony Pulis and we'll take Jose. <laugh>

Congrats on that 20th title too!
 
New manager to be announced in coming days possibly, According to London stock exchange the new manager can't be announced until he resigns from his current job. Mourinho, Moyes, Klopp are the front runners Moyes is favourite, just look out for future resignations!
 
A great manager, certainly one of the best that I have ever seen and I can only wish him well in his retirement.

I hope he has a long and happy retirement; he's deserved it.

Good luck for the following season; it will be tough to maintain your superiority which the lifelong fans from next door (who just became 'lifelong' two seasons ago) will be anticipating.
