France coach Laurent Blanc is definitely interested in succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager. The 44-year-old former France international spent two years playing at Old Trafford until 2003 before hanging up his playing boots following an illustrious career.
The ex-Barcelona, Marseille and Inter Milan defender has been tipped as a potential successor to Ferguson once he eventually retires and the Frenchman is not ruling himself out of the running.
"I could be attracted," Blanc told Reuters.
"It would be a very exciting challenge, very difficult, but conceivable if he presides at the process of his own succession.
"I would like it very much, but it would be difficult to find him a successor. He is at the helm for 24 years.
"Anyway, I am not concerned by that project so far. I have another challenge!"
