Ever since Sir Alex Ferguson decided to call it quits, Manchester United's officers have not chosen the right man for the job. With that in mind, former Red Devil Rio Ferdinand asked Ed Woodward & Co. to choose the next manager effectively, during an interview with the Daily Mail.
"I think if they bring someone else in, it is a huge decision because if this doesn’t go right, it could be a long cycle. We don’t want to be a repeat of what Liverpool have gone through. Manchester United don’t want that long time in the wilderness of not really winning or being successful and not challenging for titles," Ferdinand said.
Unconfirmed reports claim that José Mourinho has told his inner circle he will be coaching at Old Trafford next summer, while Giggs, currently Van Gaal's assistant at Manchester United, wants to have coaching duties all to himself or he will end up leaving the Red Devils to make way for "The Special One".
Mourinho & Giggs seem to be the only options to replace under-fire coach Louis Van Gaal.
"That’s the problem they have got and the questions that have to be asked. Are they going to go for someone who has had success, who knows how to manage teams like Jose Mourinho, or will they go with someone who is already in the house like Ryan Giggs?" he added.
Manchester United are currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, six points away from the last Champions League spot now owned by Manchester City.
