Sir Alex Ferguson's new autobiography has reportedly been given an October release date.

Reports earlier this month claimed that the 71-year-old was due to begin writing his second tell-all book following his decision to retire as Manchester United manager.

The book, which comes after Ferguson's Managing My Life autobiography in 2000, is expected to be on the shelves in five months' time, according to the Daily Star.

The Scotsman, who spent 26 years at the helm of Old Trafford, is expected to give insight into United's seven league title wins, and his famous bust-ups with David Beckham and Roy Keane.
