Ferguson retired in May after a record-breaking 26-and-a-half-year spell at United in which he won 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and four League Cups. It made the 71-year-old Scot the most successful manager in the history of the British game, but he said he knew that the time had come for him to step down.
‘My reaction was that I knew it was the best thing for me. I knew I’d done my time. My attitude was, the only way I could really enjoy my life was to forget it, because you can become withdrawn about what you’re going to do. I’m not going to miss anything as my time has come,’ Ferguson told The Daily Telegraph on Saturday.
Moyes, 50, has endured a difficult start to life at Old Trafford, losing three of his first seven Premier League games, but Ferguson, who is now a United director, said he was on hand to provide help and support.
‘My life as a United person continues,’ said Ferguson, whose new autobiography is released next week. And that means winning; enjoying watching them winning. I don’t need to worry about refereeing decisions, agents or the press any more.
‘We’ve got a young manager and I’m there to help him. We’ve had a lot of dialogue, David and I, over the last few weeks and he’s been very, very good. He’s been very open about what his plans have been. Any help he’s needed or wanted, he’s got it there,’ he said.
