Legendary Manchester United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, has admitted that he misses the life he had as a football manager.

Ferguson retired after leading United to their 13th Premier League title in what was his 27th year at Old Trafford.

United have struggled for success ever since Ferguson’s departure, with Manchester City leading the way for much of the last decade.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast about life post retirement, he said: “Yeah, I miss it sometimes.

“I think the first year after retirement, I went to the European final and I said to Cathy ‘this is what I miss’ – big games, the European games.

“So then I went to most of the European finals because I find something I can relate to, something I would like to have done every day.

“Because these are the big events that United should always be involved in.”

In anoyjer news, Nicolas Jackson scored a brace to push Chelsea to a third straight-away win with an awesome 3-0 victory against London rivals West Ham United on Saturday.

The victory has also indicated that Chelsea’s new coach Enzo Maresca is getting his huge squad to form.

Jackson capitalised on poor defending of West Ham to find the net in the fourth minute when he sprinted down the wing, cutting inside unchallenged and beat Alphonse Areola with a low shot.

Fourteen minutes later, the Senegal striker was left in the space by West Ham’s defenders to receive a pass from Moisés Caicedo and doubled Chelsea’s lead.

West Ham were 3-0 down little more than a minute into the second half when Jackson, on the break, teed up Cole Palmer before the England striker fired home from the edge of the box.
