Manchester United hero Teddy Sheringham says Jose Mourinho needs to be made next manager.

Treble winner Sheringham thinks time has run out for Louis van Gaal and he's convinced Mourinho would make Man United winners again – even if that means overlooking his former team-mate Ryan Giggs.

He said: “You have to try and get the best. For me, Manchester United are still in among the top two or three clubs in the world. So you have to go for the top two or three managers.

“I'd go for ­Mourinho, although ­maybe he doesn't quite fit right for the kind of club United are. But if it was him, he would make it happen, that's for sure.

“It's time to make the change.

"If Van Gaal stayed, he'd be going into his third season and they still aren't quite firing on all cylinders.

“After two years in charge, you would think they would be close to being where you would want United to be, but it's hard to see the progress."
