Man Utd chief Gill hints he favours Mourinho to succeed Sir Alex

Manchester United chief David Gill has hinted Jose Mourinho would be his choice to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson. He admitted he was a big fan of Real Madrid coach Mourinho, who is one of the favourites to succeed Ferguson when the Scot eventually retires.

Gill said: "Alex is on a rolling contract.

He is on the record as saying he will continue to manage as long as he keeps fit, so, while we follow what is happening in football, I am not going to sit here today and say who we have in mind.

"We don't know what the time frame is. I am sure there are some other good managers around. He (Mourinho) is a good manager."
