Thursday 08 January 2009 at 12:16

Manchester United losing to Derby County in the Carling Cup is possibly a sign that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is losing his magic touch and VC Bet are betting on who will replace Ferguson as Next Man Utd Manager.

Will This Be Ferguson's Last Game In Charge?

VC Bet are offering 16/1 that Sir Alex Ferguson's last game in charge in of Manchester United is in this season's Champions League final. If he was to leave then they make Jose Mourinho and Martin O Neill favourites to take over.

Different Managers Fighting For Same Job

Mourinho and O Neill are from completely different ends of the football spectrum. Mourinho is the classy choice and he is known for his ability to handle big players whilst O Neill is the tracksuit manager who gets the best out of his players. His current success as Aston Villa manager is certainly giving him a boost for the job. Mourinho and O Neill are both 4/1 to be Next Manchester United Manager with VC Bet.

International Managers On The Radar

Current England manager Fabio Capello is next best in the betting at 12/1 with VC Bet. His chances are likely to depend on how he does at the 2010 World Cup. Another international manager high on the United shortlist is Italy manager Marcelo Lippi who is 18/1 with VC Bet.

Fergie Pupils Looking To Take Over At Old Trafford

Manchester United favourite Roy Keane is 16/1 with VC Bet to succeed former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. A year ago his odds would have been much shorter but he left Sunderland in a bad league position and his reputation has been somewhat tarnished. He needs to have a successful spell at another club before he is ready. Keane is not the only player to have played under Ferguson to be linked with the job. Mark Hughes is 20/1 with VC Bet, Paul Ince and Gary Neville are 50/1 with VC Bet, Eric Cantona is 66/1 with VC Bet and Brian McClair and Bryan Robson are 100/1 with VC Bet.

Like Father Like Son

Another interesting choice could be Sir Alex's son, Darren Ferguson, currently in charge of Peterborough. He is a 20/1 chance with VC Bet. To view the odds on Guus Hiddink, Carlos Queiros or Phil Scolari getting the job and to see who else is in the frame and their odds, visit the VC Bet website, and look under Football Specials.

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
