LONDON. — Sir Alex Ferguson has given his beleaguered successor David Moyes a vote of confidence and ruled out a return to managing Manchester United.
Ferguson, in a US interview aired on Monday night on PBS, said he was content to stay retired and not fretting over the current two wins, three losses and one draw of the club he guided from 1986 until retiring earlier this year.

The bookmakers have been shortening the odds on Ferguson stepping in to rescue United if Moyes’ struggles continue. But in an interview on American television early yesterday morning, Ferguson said that would not happen.

“I’m not interested in managing again or getting myself worked up about Manchester United’s results,” Ferguson said.
“United are in good hands with David Moyes. He will be fine. He’s a good manager.

“You would be throwing your money down the drain if you put any money on me coming back as a manager. — The Mirror.
