Manchester: Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes he can carry on for another four years. The 69-year-old is the longest serving and most successful boss in the Red Devils' history, winning 12 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, four League Cups and two triumphs in the Champions League.
There has long been speculation concerning when the Scot might call time on his long and distinguished career, but he insists that he can continue for a few more seasons.
"I've got three or four years left," Sir Alex said, according to The Sunday Mirror.
"I feel good. But when I do leave, I will leave in place a strong young team that will continue to succeed for my successor."
On Saturday, the veteran boss oversaw his side beat Norwich City to stay top of the table, while remaining unbeaten in their last 25 league games at Old Trafford.
"It’s all about team spirit," said Sir Alex.
"In a match, I only need eight of my players to be on top form. If the other three aren't up to it, it's not serious. The other eight do the work for them.
"There have only been six matches where I've had all 11 players perform at their very best. It's like swallows. They always fly together in a group, in a V formation, and those at the front do the majority of the work. And they alternate regularly.
"If one swallow flies out of formation, two others go to get him and bring him back into the group. It's the same in my teams – sacrifice, friendship, and the giving of oneself to the team."
