They may need a stop-gap to wait for Mourinho if SAF wants to step down.

RD, what would you think of Roy Keane as an eventual manager for Man U?

It might mean that some players will be coming in:

Beasley, Donovan, Bradley (Jr.), Rogers, etc.
Perhaps, by February an 8 or 9 Yank team and, perhaps, a reinstatement
of the original LacZed bet (i.e., that an all former MLS team could play
well enough in the EPL to qualify for Europe)--GO VILLA! :-)

I seriously doubt MON would be considered for the United job, he just
doesn't have the credentials (especially considering European
competition). Besides that, I believe Sir Alex will continue in the
job for a few years yet.

I don't think he has the experience required for the job nor the
temperment, he hasn't exactly set the world alight with his management
career so far. Managing Manchester United is a huge undertaking and
I'm not just talking about the playing side of the job. Mourinho is
more in line as being a viable candidate. That said, I really think
it's going to be quite some time (barring illness) before Sir Alex
steps down. If it did come down to an ex player getting the position,
then I'd look no further than Solksjaer who is presently at Old
Trafford learning management under the great man.

A young SAF did not have the credentials to be an old SAF by this
argument...
