Ferguson cached Man United from 1986 to 2013, winning 13 Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, five FA Cups, and four League Cups in a hugely successful spell.
The legendary coach recently reflected on his retirement and said he misses a few things about the job, per BBC Sport.
"I've been retired 11 years now, so you find a way of adjusting. I miss it sometimes. I think in my first year after I was retired, I went to the European (Cup) final and I said to Cathy 'this is what I miss. Big games, the European games."
He said Man United should always be competing in European finals.
"I go to most of the European finals because I find something that I can relate to and what I'd like to have done everyday. Because these are the big events that a club like United should always be involved in."
The last time the club won the European Cup was in 2017 under Jose Mourinho. They last won the UEFA Champions League in 2008.
