Sir Alex Ferguson won't walk away from Manchester United when he decides to step down as manager.

Asked who will replace him, he said: "I'm not gone yet."

Yet even when he's gone he'll still be there.

"United is a family club and I know they will want me to stay involved as an ambassador of some sort [after retiring as manager]," he said. "If I'm asked my view I'll give it, but I won't be a back-seat driver."
