Gary Neville: 'Sir Alex Ferguson won't step aside for anyone'

Gary Neville insists that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will not "step aside" from his post at Old Trafford for anyone.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has insisted that manager Sir Alex Ferguson won't be forced to retire from his position at the Premier League club.

Some reports have suggested that the 70-year-old may be considering his future following rumours that Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is prepared to step down from the Bernabeu.

"Sir Alex Ferguson will not stand aside for anybody," talkSPORT quotes Neville as saying. "He will decide when he doesn't want to do it anymore.

"He is not the type of person who would just step aside so he could watch someone else manage his football team. It has been Alex Ferguson's last season for 15 years now. Unless it is the best kept secret in the world, nobody knows other than him."

Meanwhile, Neville believes that United's fierce rivals Manchester City will consider sacking Roberto Mancini in favour of Pep Guardiola or Mourinho in the future.
