Sir Alex Ferguson,who is set to retire at the end of next season, has named current Everton manager David Moyes as the ideal man to succeed him in the United hot-seat when he retires.
Fergie has been a great admirer of Moyes since his days at Preston North End, and tried to convince him to become his assistant at United before he took the reigns at Everton in 2002.
Moyes, 46, would be perfect for United as he has shown at Everton how he isn’t afraid to blood youngsters into the Senior squad. Another thing Fergie admires about his fellow Scot, it would also enhance United’s chances of signing Everton youngster Jack Rodwell who recently was linked with a move to United.
Jose Mourinho is the bookies favourite,but although Fergie is an admirer of Mourinho he doesn’t think he fits United’s Criteria with his sometimes negative approach, something United fans would be reluctant to see happen. United Legend Bobby Charlton is also unconvinced of Mourinho’s credentials as United manager.
No doubt there will be numerous names linked to the near impossible job of replacing Fergie when he retires, but Fergie is in no doubt that the man to replace him is David Moyes.
Give us your thoughts on who you think should be Fergie’s successor.
