Ferguson targets Euro glory

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is desperate to secure another Champions League success before calling time on his illustrious Old Trafford reign.
The Red Devils were crowned Kings of Europe in 1999, but Ferguson has yet to add to that title and is keen to rectify that situation, with United facing AS Roma, Sporting Lisbon and Dynamo Kyiv in Group F this season.
Ferguson told Setanta Sports: "Two European Cups are not enough for Manchester United. Winning another is the one remaining great ambition. It has to be.
"We have been in the semi-finals quite a few times but only reached one final. We have to improve on that record.
"If we won the Champions League, I would probably enjoy it even more now.
"However, my time to go will be dictated to by my energy levels and my health. It is a fact of life that once you get into your 60s, you are no longer in control of these things.
"When I eventually go, I want to leave a really good team.
"Manchester United is a great club. It deserves my concentration to make sure whoever does take over inherits a good team. That is important to me."
