Ryan Giggs would be the ideal choice to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager, according to the Welshman's former team-mate Phil NevilleThe Everton captain also believes his brother Gary Neville would be a worthy replacement for the Scot, as would former United captains Bryan Robson or Steve Bruce.
Ferguson is yet to comment on when he will retire, although it is not expected to happen for at least another twelve months.
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is the bookmakers' favourite to be the next man in charge at Old Trafford, although Ferguson is believed to be keen on seeing Everton boss David Moyes succeed him.
But Neville believes whoever is next in the United hotseat may come from within and has tipped Red Devils legend Giggs to take the job.
Neville told BBC Radio Five Live: "The way I can see it developing is if say he develops a manager from within like my brother, like a Ryan Giggs that can carry on that dynasty, the foundations are there and the next person that comes in needs to be singing off the same hymn sheet.
"That's why I think the next manager of Manchester United might come from within and when you see Ryan Giggs and his character to me he looks like the perfect manager to follow Sir Alex Ferguson.
"I think if Ryan Giggs or somebody - Steve Bruce, Bryan Robson - then you've got someone that the fans can easily relate to straight away, so they're going to get extra time.
"It's like the Kenny Dalglish situation at Liverpool; they're going to get leeway for a couple of defeats.
"If Mourinho came in straight away he needs to produce and yes Manchester United need to produce anyway but somebody that's been promoted within, that is a United legend, I think it might even be easier [for them]."
