Sir Alex Ferguson has denied suggestions that he could retire after leading Manchester United to Champions League glory.

The 66-year-old Scot saw his latest team secure a Premier League and European double after defeating Chelsea on penalties in Moscow on Wednesday evening.

But Ferguson, who has been at the helm of the Old Trafford club for 22 years, claims their latest success has only left him wanting more.

"I am not retiring - in fact I am already thinking about next season," he said.

"The euphoria evaporates almost immediately and then I move on. It's just something in me, to create that drug again."

Meanwhile, Ferguson has fired an ominous warning to United's rivals by insisting his side will return stronger next season.

"When you win something, the first thing you do the following season is to look at the player's eyes to make sure the hunger is there," he continued.

"And we have players who want to do it again and again, I'm sure of that.

"It will not be easy, defending the European Cup is not easy to do, but I certainly think this team is good enough.

"There are certain players who will improve immeasurably next year."
