Becks can not see Man Utd boss retiring

Beckham admits he stays in touch with his former team-mates at Manchester United.

Reports have suggested that this could be Ferguson’s last season in charge at Old Trafford.

Beckham said: “I speak to Giggsy, I speak to Scholesy and quite a few of the other guys all the time, and especially when they’re sat on the bus on some long trip to an away game.

“I’d speak to Gary Neville probably more often than the rest. I always keep in touch and I always will.

“And the message I’m getting back is that it’s very much business as usual, that they all believe they are right in there for another title and for the Champions League.

“Manchester United are a machine. They will keep on rolling and they will keep on winning and carry on picking up trophies.

“That’s the way Sir Alex Ferguson has always run his team and his team will keep on running.

“He makes sure his players know what the priorities are and what to focus on and especially they know that you win trophies at the end of the season – not before Christmas.”

Beckham added: “People have been saying that it’s time for him to go for years now – but Sir Alex just keeps on proving people wrong, winning things and quieting people.

“He’ll never be too old to manage United because of the pattern he has laid down and the way he runs things.

“I know there’s been a lot of talk about him retiring but I just don’t see it.

“I think he’ll carry on for many more years and why shouldn’t he?”
