Hearing this has brought some solace. I was a bit concerned that maybe Sir Alex wasn't well and maybe we might be saying a 2nd good-bye in the near future. Hopefully he has all the rest he needs and he enjoys the rest of his years in the greatest heath.

This is a massive relief I was very worried.

Losing SAF as a manager is a huge loss.... losing SAF altogether really would hit me hard.

You can't blame him I mean he's 71. A lot of people who come up to retirement get to wind down slowly by working part time or whatever but he can't do that as a manger at United. He's got his horses to keep him busy - watch channel 4 today and he might pop up at the races. He's got a flat in New York, there's his family. He'll have a lot to keep him occupied but at that age you've got to be able to do what you want.

I'm kind of glad he has retired because he deserves to enjoy his life. He has gave his life to football and most of it to u, he deserves time to enjoy himself. I'm gla he can travel see the world and enjoy himself he deserves that. Obviously I will miss him and wish he stayed but I'm happy he can enjoy his life

Sometimes even when you love something you have to let it go...

That might apply as much with us to him as it does him to Manchester United.
