Sir Alex Ferguson is expected to step down in 2011 as Manchester United manager but it could be this year according to Paddy Power and bookies are already taking bets on who will become the Next Man Utd Manager.

One More Season Likely For Sir Alex Before He Steps Down

Paddy Power have a market on when Sir Alex will retire as Man Utd manager and the favourite is 2011 and that can be backed at 5/2 with Paddy Power. 2010 is not that unlikely according to Paddy Power, it is 10/3 and the same odds of 10/3 with Paddy Power apply to 2012. Paddy Power offer 7/2 on 2013 and they also offer 7/2 on it being 2014 or later. It is likely Fergie will want to go out on a high so a successful season this year could mean the end. If he does go this season then it is very likely either Jose Mourinho or Martin O'Neill will take over, they are rated the 7/2 joint favourites with SkyBet to become the Next Man Utd Manager.

Jose Mourinho Will the special one like it up north after Sir Alex Ferguson hangs up his hairdryer. Fergie has said he wont outstay his welcome. Manchester United are a global brand and need a big personality at the helm. Mourinho has a bigger personality than nearly anyone in world football and this is a great opportunity for a back to lay.	3.75	£200 FREE

Ole Solskjaer Former Manchester United winger highly repected by the fans and club.	7	£200 FREE

Pepe Guardiola Pepe Guardiola would be a good choice for Manchester United or Arsenal when the current incumbents decide that advising referees of the rules of the game is no longer for them. The Barca coach should be able to handle a smooth transition.	8	£10 FREE

David Moyes Done a great job at Everton including getting the Toffees to Wembley in 2009. Would almost certainly accept this position and has been supported.	9	£200 FREE

Martin O'Neil Formerly at Celtic and Aston Villa. He may be slightly too shrewd to accept the position straight after the most successful manager Manchester United have ever had. After that however!	13	£10 FREE

Laurent Blanc Currently at the choppy helm of the French national team. Depending on how Les Bleus perform at the European Championship the timing could be perfect.	17	£10 FREE

Mark Hughes Having been dismissed by City will he be Sir Alex Fergusons successor. Said a few choice words about United which will not endear him to the fans.	21	£10 FREE

Steve Bruce Very underrated manager who spent 10 years as a player at Old Trafford.	26	£200 FREE

Brendan Rodgers Current Swansea manager who previously worked under Mourinho at Chelsea. His teams play atractive, passing football and could be an option for United when Sir Alex retires	26	£10 FREE

Carlo Ancelotti Former Chelsea manager currently on a break from football	26	£200 FREE

Joachim Low In charge of German national team at the moment but if he did return to club management he could interest Man Utd	26	£10 FREE

Carlos Querioz Portuguese Manager who had seemed to be the heir apparent to Fergie. However since his departure in 2008 from the Assistant Managers role at Old Trafford he has seen other candidates more strongly supported.	34	£200 FREE

Ryan Giggs Approaching an amazing 900 games for Man Utd and not hard to see him becoming manager at the club at some point.	34	£200 FREE

Fabio Capello If England do well especially if they win the Euros then it would not take a leap of faith to see Capello at Old Trafford.	34	£200 FREE

Gus Hiddink Linked to more vacancys than hotels.com, Gus Hiddink has already managed PSV, Fenerbahche, Valencia, Holland, Real Madrid, Real Betis, South Korea, Australia, and Chelsea.	34	£10 FREE
