Sir Alex Ferguson, the iconic former manager of Manchester United, has confessed that he longs for his days on the sidelines.
Having retired at the age of 82 following the 2012/2013 season, Ferguson left behind an impressive legacy after leading United to their 13th Premier League title in his 27-year tenure at Old Trafford.
Since his departure, United has faced challenges in achieving success, with rivals Manchester City dominating the football landscape for much of the last decade.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast about life post retirement, Alex Ferguson said: “Yeah, I miss it sometimes.
“I think the first year after retirement, I went to the European final and I said to Cathy ‘this is what I miss’ – big games, the European games.
“So then I went to most of the European finals because I find something I can relate to, something I would like to have done every day.
“Because these are the big events that United should always be involved in.”
