Ex-Chelsea No2 Wilkins sees Mourinho as next Man Utd manager

Ray Wilkins can see Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho becoming the next manager of Manchester United.

Wilkins, who worked alongside Mourinho at Chelsea, says he wouldn't rule anything out.

He said: "At the minute it's hard to see Fergie stopping - you only have to look at him jumping up and down on the touchline to know he just adores football.

"He's in charge of another fantastic Manchester United side and I think if they can keep Giggs and Scholes for one more year they are going to remain very competitive.

"But Fergie is a dear friend of Jose, you know. I would imagine they converse, I would think they are on the phone together every now and then. And I wouldn't put it past Manchester United that if Sir Alex decided this was time to call it a day that Jose would be the type of guy they would go for."
