UNITED: Papers: Three years left

/noticias.info/ Boss to quit in three years

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he hopes to spend three more years at the helm before stepping down as manager of Manchester United. The Scot had initially planned to retire in 2005, only to decide he had unfinished business at the top. That decision was vindicated as he rebuilt his side, going on to claim last year's Premier League title. But Sir Alex believes it will be time to call it quits when he is 69, after 25 years in charge. He said: "I'm getting beyond the future now. I still have a lot of passion. I'm still happy. But I'm 66 now - maybe three years more, then I'll finish." Ferguson believes the brutality of management means it is too soon to mark out his successor. But he said: "I have a great assistant in Carlos Queiroz. He will come into the reckoning. But we have owners and a chief executive who will choose the new man in three years' time."

Meanwhile, ahead of the Reds' FA Cup quarter-final with Portsmouth at Old Trafford, Harry Redknapp has revealed his masterplan to beat United: play two wingers who cannot tackle and a striker who cannot run!

Cristiano Ronaldo believes United are playing well enough and have the self-belief to stage a repeat of their historic Treble triumph of 1999. notas_de_prensa_archivo
