 Ferguson has been United manager since November 1986 |
Manchester United chief executive David Gill says manager Sir Alex Ferguson's job at Old Trafford is safe. Ferguson has failed to bring the Premiership title or a European trophy to Old Trafford for three seasons.
But Gill told the News of the World: "Maybe he would have gone at certain clubs but is that right? Look at Real Madrid. Where have they ended up?
"We are different - we stick with our people. Changing the rider does not mean the horse is going to win."
Gill revealed that United's owner Malcolm Glazer has never questioned Ferguson's position since he bought the club in June 2005.
"The Glazers have the top guy, they know it and nothing will change," added Gill. "They are very comfortable with Sir Alex and never question his position.
"They recognised straight away that he was a key part of the strength of the club. One day there will be a change but we hope that is a long way off.
"We have a great manager and, while he has the enthusiasm and the knowledge to develop players like Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, we don't want to change."
