Manchester: Alex Ferguson sees himself becoming a director at Manchester United when he finally decides to quit management.
The 71-year-old Scot, who shelved retirement plans more than a decade ago, still has no idea when he will call it a day.
“There’s no getting rid of me,” Ferguson, who has been in the Old Trafford hot seat since 1986, said in an interview with twentyfour7 Football magazine published yesterday.
“I will probably become a director.
“Nobody knows (when I will step down), neither do I. It won’t be a doctor that tells me to quit.”
Ferguson has guided United to many titles including two Champions League trophies, five FA Cups and 12 league crowns. 
Ferguson said  during the interview he expected to be consulted about a successor but that the final decision of the issue would not be his. AFP
