Peterborough United director of football Barry Fry thinks Manchester United would be wise to ask Sir Alex Ferguson about who should replace Ed Woodward.

Woodward will leave his role as executive vice-chairman at the end of the year.

"I think if I owned Manchester United I'd be going to Sir Alex and saying, 'What do you recommend?'" Fry told FootballFancast.

"Because as he proved for 26 years, with the amazing career he had there, there will never be anybody like that, winning so many trophies, he's respected throughout the world and he knows everybody.

"I would definitely, if I was anything to do with Manchester United, be going and saying 'What do you suggest?'
