CARLO ANCELOTTI SNUBS MANCHESTER UNITED

Louis van Gaal's future in Manchester United has plunged into more doubt after it emerged that Ed Woodward had contacted Carlo Ancelotti about the managerial role in Manchester United this summer.



Sources closed to Ancelotti said that Manchester United Executive vice- chairman Ed Woodward had approached the Italian to discuss a possible move to United this summer but Bayern Munich made him feel more wanted. Munich had already contacted Ancelotti after Pep Guardiola decided to leave after his contract runs out this June. Guardiola announced his decision to quit Bayern in December and Ancelotti was named as his replacement shortly before Christmas.



Pressure is already mounting on van Gaal after Manchester United has displayed series of poor run. United has refused to comment when the issue of Ancelotti was brought up. In the light of Ancelotti’s rejection there are fears at United that Mourinho’s temperament could prove divisive, there is now a growing belief that the current assistant manager Ryan Giggs is the most likely to succeed Van Gaal, when the Dutchman eventually leaves.

How soon will that be...only time will tell.

Real reason why Alex Ferguson Retired from football

Former Manchester United Coach Sir Alex Ferguson has finally revealed why he had to retire from active football in 2013. Things have not been the same after he left. Ferguson hand picked his successor David Moyes to carry on with the club tradition.
However, David Moyes could not leave to expectation and was a huge failure. He was sacked in his first season while Manchester United could only manage the seventh position on the League table.

Ferguson had planned to retire in 2002 but his wife had convinced him to remain with the Red Devils. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Sir Alex Ferguson revealed that the real reason why he retired from active football was about the death of his wife’s (Cathy) twin sister, Bridget, in 2012 and how big of a role that played in his decision to step down after winning his 13th Premier League title.
“I definitely would have carried on,” Ferguson revealed. “But this time when I told her I was going to retire she had no objection. I knew she wanted me to do it.
