In an interview with the BBC Breakfast, Ferguson discussed his life after football.
“Yeah, I miss it sometimes,” he said.
“I think the first year after retirement, I went to the European final and I said to Cathy ‘this is what I miss’ – big games, the European games.
“So then I went to most of the European finals because I find something I can relate to, something I would liked to have done every day. Because these are the big events that United should always be involved in.”
Alex Ferguson has continued to make his presence felt in Manchester United by attending games and offering advice to the board, manager and players.
Since Sir Alex’s retirement, Man United have appointed David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag but none has been able to attain huge success with the club.
Erik ten Hag is currently the manager of Manchester United and has been facing criticism over the team inconsisten performance since he took over.
