Sir Alex Ferguson has actually said recently that he has no intention of retiring, and then of course, leaving Manchester United. He has said that he will not be retiring and then depart from the team any time soon. But we wonder why the betting on the next Manchester United manager continues. And sports betting firms even goes on with the release of odds for the betting’s sake.

Odds of 2/1 are actually now set for former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho to be the one to succeed Ferguson. And odds of 6/1 are for Everton boss David Moyes to be the next manager at Old Trafford. And just the same odds are for Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill.

While for Ferguson to actually go against what he said about his retirement intention and departure plan, odds of 4/1 are listed. And to go within 2011, odds of 9/4. But to leave in 2012, odds of 11/4.

“It is rubbish,” said Ferguson. “There is no truth in it. I have no intention of retiring and if I did the people I would tell are [chief executive] David Gill and the Glazer family.”

May be, sports betting firms and bettors who continue to follow the betting on the next Manchester United manager just want to know if who most likely will be the next in case Ferguson retire and leave the famous team.

However, the manager actually confirmed that he has no intention of retiring, and then of course, leaving Manchester United perhaps any time soon. There must be no point for everyone to be engaged in a betting like the betting on the next manager of Manchester United. He will not retire and even depart from the said team any time soon. Most likely, there are still some things he just needs to do first before he leaves everything behind.
