Glazers expect Ferguson to stay with Man Utd post-retirement
Manchester United are counting on Sir Alex Ferguson remaining involved once he steps aside as manager.
United officials assured potential investors of Ferguson's involvement during this week's 'road show'.
Questioned on the likelihood of Ferguson's retirement over the seven-year period, investors were told that the succession would be managed so that there was not a need for an expensive turnover of players and said the Scot was expected to stay on in some sort of ambassadorial role.
"They expect him to stay on in some capacity. I would draw the analogy with [director] Bobby Charlton," Phil Milburn, a high-yield fund manager at Aegon Asset Management, told the Guardian.
