Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that several foreign clubs have approached him in the past with a view to managing them, yet he has never wanted to leave Manchester United.

The Scot arrived at Old Trafford in 1986 and has gone on to claim enormous success, guiding the Red Devils to 11 Premier League titles and two Champions League wins.

His track record is unrivalled in the modern game and, speaking to the News of the World, Sir Alex admitted it had tempted several clubs to approach him.

“I've had offers from clubs to go abroad, but I've never been tempted by them," admitted the 67-year-old.

"I am not going on record to say who they are, but you'd be surprised by the names.

"It flies over your head and you get on with life. You don't leave Manchester United."

Next up for Ferguson is a trip to face Chelsea on Sunday at Stamford Bridge, a ground on which he has failed to win in the Premier League since 2002.
