BOOKMAKERS HAVE INSTALLED Jose Mourinho as the early favourite to become next Manchester United manager following the announcement of Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
Ferguson, 71, will end his 27-year United reign at the end of the season and said this morning: “It is the right time.”
Mourinho has long been touted as a possible heir to the Old Trafford throne but there are no shortage of candidates with Everton’s David Moyes and Borussia Dortmund’s Jurgen Klopp towards the top of the early shortlist.

A Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole double act for me.

Anyone but Mourinho!
Agree completely he will never be the long term solution to give United the stability we need. Despite his track record which is outstanding he generally spends a lot of money and his teams are far from easy on the eye. Jürgen Klopp gets my vote very impressed with what he’s achieved at Dortmund.
Just put my money where my mouth is and backed 20lè at 25/1
It’ll be Moyes. No doubt about it.
Kevin Keegan would, love it really love it
Next united manager needs :
1. Experience in europe
2. To have managed a big club like chelsea or real madrid.
3. Be available at the end of the season
4. To live in england with his family
5. To be a bit special
6. To be both loved and hated by his team, the fans and the media.
It can be only one man.
Rafa Benitez
Continuity, stability etc …. Nobody giving Mike Phelan a chance?
Jamie Carragher
Martin o Neill brilliant long term replacement
Not a hope maybe 10 years ago but he has killed off any chance with the way he ran Sunderland and villa, I doubt Martin will be a manager again I think between his last 2 jobs and his wife’s illness I think he may just drift off into the sunset, don’t get me wrong I have noting against the guy I love him for what he did with Celtic but that’s a long time ago now
Wat did he do wrong with villa. Look at them since he left. One bad season with Sunderland don’t make him a bad manager. If utd wer brave enough to employ him they wud stay winning. Every manager has a bad spell just because he’s not from the continent he doesn’t get a second chance!!!!!
Agreed villa have been poor since he left but he left them with an old squad, at Sunderland he did as good as most would do with a limited squad but he is not united quality anymore his style has also changed so much, I have noting against bring in home grown like moyes , I have no interest in a continental manager as u seem to think I would like
I think mick mccarthy ideal man.
AVB anyone?
Cantona would make a cool manager
Moyes in ‘pole position’ according to Sky Sports News. Did they not say de same thing about ‘Arry for Ingerland job???
I’d rather not see Mourinho in charge but if its between him and Moyes, it would have to be Jose. There would be a serious tip in the balance in chelseas favour if moyes went to united and Jose went to Chelsea.

As long as they keep their hands off Neil Lennon.
As if
who ever gets the job will have a mammoth task , with the hugs debts united have it is votal that they keep winning ,
i reckon Fergies friend Mourinho will get it short term, 2 years say, whilst grooming solskjear (as mourinho’s no.2 ) for a longterm roll
Dave o’leary is available.
Dennis Wise. Or ‘The Brat’.
Both available…
;)
Compleyely disagree with the idea of Moyes as manager. He has no experience in Europe and not to disagree, Ferguson will go down as the greatest manager ever in Britain, his results in Europe has been disappointing. Man Utd need Josè or the German.
Agree no chance of moyes being number one
One of fergies clones that they have created so as he will always be manager forever !
