Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted that he has no plans to retire any time soon.

The Red Devils boss could miss the start of next season as he will undergoing hip surgery over the summer, but he maintains that quitting football is not a possibility.

"It's always difficult in football to be absolutely sure of the future because the game has a habit of tripping you up," BBC Sport quotes Ferguson as saying.

"I don't have any plans to walk away from what I believe will be something special and worth being around to see."

Ferguson has guided United to 13 Premier League titles since joining the club from Scottish outfit Aberdeen in 1986.
