Who will be the next manager of Man United when Sir Alex Ferguson finally decides to step down? One thing is for sure, it will certainly be a difficult appointment. At the moment many see Martin O’Neill as the favourite to take over from Sir Alex however I have a hunch for a person who thus far has not even been mentioned for the position.

I am not personally involved with professional football; I work within the cheap holidays, composite doors and DVD authoring sectors; I am however a massive football fan.

No one can argue that Sir Alex Ferguson has performed supremely well since becoming the manager of what many consider to be the best football team in the world, Manchester United. It will be very hard for whoever takes over from Sir Alex to fill his shoes as they say.

There are numerous foreign managers who, as usual, will be in contention for the role. I personally believe that Darren; the son of Alex could have a real chance – he is currently the manager of Preston. You may well be laughing at this suggestion however let me describe why I think he would be a great choice. Both Sir Alex and Darren were not the best of players but did reach a fairly high standard, Darren is likely to have learnt a lot from his father, Darren is doing supremely well with Preston, the team he currently manages.

At this stage Darren would be a big outsider but what would happen if he continued to have success? Just imagine how much a personal recommendation by Sir Alex for his son would be? Take it from me in a couple years time Darren Ferguson could well be the favourite to take over from his father at Manchester United.

I am not a United supporter, I actually support my local team Birmingham City. I feel that the appointment of Darren would be a real “Roy of the Rovers” football story and would love to see it happen.

I would suggest to the Man U board for Darren as manager with another ex favourite player Paul Ince as his right hand man – what a team that may well become!
