Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will launch his new book Leading by carrying out a tour around the country in September.

The Scotsman, who retired from management in 2013 following a glittering 27-year career with United, will answer questions during an on-stage interview at locations in London, Manchester, Glasgow and Aberdeen.

Two years ago, Ferguson released a second autobiography, but his new book will be primarily about the leadership skills that he picked up during his career.

Businessman and co-author Sir Michael Moritz will join Ferguson on his London tour date at the Southbank Centre on September 21, while presenter Dan Walker will host one of the events at The Bridgewater in Manchester four days later.

Ferguson will visit the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow, where Nicky Campbell will pose questions to the Scotsman on September 28, and his tour will finish at the Music Hall in Aberdeen three days later.
