Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is set to release a new book.

He has agreed a deal with the publishers for a book titled Leading, which promises to "analyse the pivotal leadership decisions of an astonishing career".

Ferguson said: "Since stepping into retirement I have had the opportunity to reflect on my time as a football manager, and to consider the reasons behind my success through personal recollections, conversations with Mike Moritz and my role at Harvard Business School.

"It has been a new experience for me to be looking into the past rather than planning for the future, but one I have found enjoyable and rewarding."
