Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that he sometimes wonders who will replace him at Manchester United when he calls time on his career.
The Red Devils boss has been in the Old Trafford dugout for over 25 years and is now the longest serving manager in the history of the club. And during this period, he has masterminded 12 Premier League and two Champions League triumphs among other honours.

At the age of 69, there has been speculation as to how long he might remain in his position and who might be brought in to replace him.
“Over the years I’ve had the question – ‘Who can replace me?’,” said Sir Alex, according to The Mirror.

“In those years, some of the coaches they were talking about to replace me don’t have jobs any more.
“So it becomes very difficult because someone who I think has the potential may be sacked by his club and disappear.”
