Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas admits he fears retirement.

Speaking with Vanity Fair, Cesc concedes he is determined to play for as long as he can.

He explained: "I'm afraid of my retirement, I still feel in good shape, both physical and mental, but I know it's going to be one of the saddest days of my life."

Cesc was also asked about his relationship with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.

"He was my enemy when he was coaching Real Madrid or Chelsea, do not get me wrong, but to compete I wanted to beat him. From there I became his player at Chelsea and went with him to death. I learned a lot, I have a very positive memory of him."
