Fergie wants European legacy


Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that he will 'definitely' quit Manchester United if they win two more UEFA Champions League crowns.

Ferguson has already intimated that 2010 could be the year he opts to step down from the Old Trafford hot-seat.

Now Ferguson has confirmed that indeed, if United were to win three-in-a-row - that would be the signal for him to quit.

Ferguson has won 18 domestic trophies during his 23 years at United, but in that time he has landed just three European prizes - two European Cups and one Uefa Cup Winners' Cup.

And Ferguson admits he wants that statistic to improve.

"If there was one challenge I'd love the club to win more European trophies than they have done and I think I've made this point a few times over the years. I don't think we've won the number we should have won," he told CNN.

"There have been years when we've been unlucky and years we've been disappointed, and there've been years when we've thrown games away, and that sort of gives a kaleidoscope of what football's like.

"If we could win a couple more European trophies I then would definitely quit."
