WITH Manchester United announcing the sacking of David Moyes today (Tuesday), our resident tipster Bobby Dubz has given his views on who could replace him.
Louis van Gaal is the early favourite with bookmakers, while veteran midfielder Ryan Giggs and Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp are just behind in the betting.
Giggs is expected to be named interim manager later today, but it is not known if he will be interested in taking the job full time.
Other names in the betting are Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone, former assistant manager Carlos Queiroz and Sir Alex Ferguson, who is a 20/1 shot to make a sensational return to Old Trafford hotseat, less than one year after his retirement.
Outsiders for the job include ex-England boss Fabio Capello, former assistant manager Mike Phelan and former United defender Laurent Blanc.
Referee Howard Webb is also available at 500/1 with some bookmakers, which means if you put a pound on Webb, you will lose that pound.
Van Gaal looks to be the obvious choice as he has said he will be leaving his current job once he has managed Holland at the World Cup in Brazil.
Ferguson could be tempted for a return, if only to win back the Premier League crown that looks increasingly likely to be going to United's arch-rivals Liverpool this season.
But I think Blanc is a worthwhile bet, with the Paris Saint-Germain manager's experience of the club likely to stand him in good stead.
I feel that having made the mistake with Moyes, the board are likely to see knowledge of the club as a key attribute in the decision-making process.
