Former Manchester United Boss, Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed how he was approached by Roman Abramovich to manage the team - when he bought Chelsea in 2003.

Speaking in an hour-long interview (his first since stepping down last May) on American television in the early hours of Wednesday morning, Ferguson said: “They used an agent to approach me when Abramovich first took over the club and I said: 'No chance.'”
Ferguson gave his beleaguered successor David Moyes his seal of approval and is confident the team will thrive under his management, despite their worst start to a league campaign since 1989.
“I’m not interested in managing again or getting myself worked up about Manchester United’s results,” Ferguson told Charlie Rose on PSB. “United are in good hands with David Moyes. He will be fine. He’s a good manager.
“You would be throwing your money down the drain if you put any money on me coming back as a manager.”
Ferguson reaffirmed suspicions that Wayne Rooney asked to leave the club the day after United won the Premier League title last May.
But the 71-year-old turned it down, as he was impressed with the way the striker plays with his old verve and energy.

"You cannot go to a 100 euro restaurant with just 10 euros in your pocket," he sniped. Less than two months later, he parted company with the Old Lady by "mutual consent," having been left frustrated by his employers' transfer strategy. Two years on, Conte is now back in the club game after a successful spell in charge of Italy and is working for a team bankrolled by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. But the former Bianconeri boss has quickly discovered that more money sometimes means more problems. Conte has been backed in the transfer market, w
