Manchester United legend and director Sir Bobby Charlton says there's no thoughts of retirement for manager Sir Alex Ferguson within the club.

"I don't think Alex is even considering retirement at the moment," he said. "He has a smile on his face and he's enjoying it.

"The last time he said he was retiring I didn't believe it. I was right then.

"But you can't plan for somebody like Sir Alex retiring.

"Some people think it would be the perfect time for him to go if he won another Champions League final. Maybe.

"But he's not a sentimentalist like that. He's hard as nails, Alex.

"He's a born manager. I can't see him thinking of doing anything else for the next few years."
