Fergie and his Barca wish

Doha - Despite having won 11 English Premier League and two Champions League titles among a host of honours with Manchester United, there is still one thing Alex Ferguson wishes he had done - manage Barcelona.

The 68-year-old Scot said Wednesday that his top choice would have been Barcelona if he had managed a team outside of Britain, describing the Spanish champions as "fantastic; the ideology, their philosophy - the whole thing is fantastic."

Speaking at the Aspire4Sport conference in Doha, Ferguson says United has a similar philosophy.

Having been at United since 1986, Ferguson has no plans to retire as long as he stays healthy. Reminded that he once talked of retiring in 2011, Ferguson says: "I will change my mind again, don't worry."
