Sir Bobby Charlton believes that Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will stay on at Old Trafford for more years, despite the Scotsman approaching his 71st birthday.

Sir Bobby Charlton believes that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has plenty of years left at the top.

The 70-year-old, who has been in charge at Old Trafford for 26 years, has experienced a glittering career and helped the Red Devils become one of the most famous and successful clubs in the world.

"I won't see his like again, I'm certain of that," the Daily Mail quotes Charlton as saying. "We're really lucky, and people are really envious of us.

"He was born to do this job and he's going to be with us as long as he wants. He's just a sensational manager, I keep repeating it [but] others must look on in envy."

Reports have suggested that Ferguson may decide to step down from his role at the end of the season.
