Man Utd legend Ferguson has no retirement regrets

Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has no regrets over his retirement decision.

Ferguson left his post at the end of last season as the most successful manager in British football history.

"My reaction was that I knew it was the best thing for me. I knew I'd done my time," said the 71-year-old to the Daily Telegraph.

"My attitude was 'the only way I could really enjoy my life was to forget it', because you can become withdrawn about what you're going to do.

"'Am I going to miss this?' My attitude was "I'm not going to miss it. My time has come". I'd picked the right moment. The successes were mindboggling, to think what had happened to me in my career at United. Forget the past. It's no use to me."
