Carlos Queiroz is being courted by Portugal for the manager's job.

United have apparently offered him a £500,000 per annum pay rise in an attempt to keep him. It looks like he's minded to go. From Queiroz' point of view he could do a good job with a world class Portugal squad in the next world cup and enhance his prospects of taking over from SAF when he retires in the next couple of years. A world cup in South Africa would have a particular pull for Queiroz, who was born and bred in Mozambique, in Southern Africa.

If the only way of keeping Queiroz at United was a promise to hand him SAF's job in a year or two, should United do just that?

Losing Queiroz right now, could be a bigger blow than losing Ronaldo. Shouldn't United bite the bullet now about the succession and secure Queiroz? Or do you think United should keep their options open for the likes of Mourinho and Mark Hughes?

No. No promises for the job etc. The club has to think long-term, and long-term if it means that you lose Quieroz now there's every chance that he'll consider United's offer if they come calling after Fergie retires.

It would be worth considering who might replace Queiroz if he goes. Steve McClaren's signed a contract at FC Twente, thank god None of his former charges would be interested in an assistant post barring Ole, and he's just starting out so he's not ready.

Who'd have the respect of the United dressing room as a second in command? Not Bryan Robson - nice guy, United legend, but hopeless coach.

Any thoughts out there on an up and coming coach with a sharp tactical brain (doesn't matter where he's from) for the assistant's post?

Ahmed, you make a good point. Queiroz, could be a better bet for United in two to three years time with a couple of years of international experience under his belt; and he'd have given himself an opportunity to develop his own identity and style of playing. He has the unhappy experience at Madrid, and will want to prove that he can cut it on his own.

Most managers in world football would want a crack at taking over at United, so Queiroz might feel under some pressure to improve his own credentials. There are few bigger jobs in club football than managing United.

Didier Deschamps, but he's looking for the France job...

I don't think any championship / league one manager will want to be the assistant, although if they're up for it then that'd be great. Maybe we can snag someone from Spain...

Ferguson and Queiroz are dynamite-duo...cannot be separated...if Fergie was on big problem,Queiroz came to help...example..when Ronaldo become Public Enemy No.1 after 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany...Queiroz came to persuade Ronaldo to stay at United...and now Fergie himself must persuade Queiroz NO TO PORTUGAL,YES TO UNITED...

mufan's utter lack of knowledge of English makes his joke all the funnier. Haha!!

Deschamps is free now, but I doubt he'll come. Quieroz might go - he went to Madrid, remember?

Damnded year it was, 2003... Beckham went, Queiroz went, Veron went and Abramovich bought Chelsea...

It would be the biggest mistake to guarantee Queiroz the manager's job; especially when there are so many better candidates. But if he wants to go, he should go. No person is bigger than the club and Ferguson will find a replacement (Neeskens is on the market since he left Barcelona).

There is another alternative, now that I think about it. Could Ferguson bring in Rijkaard with the promise of the jos in three years? The Dutch-man is a fantastic technician as we saw at Barcelona, but he is no good in man-management and discipline.

Sitting next to Fergie for a few years could teach him something and he could take it from there. This would give United sexy football in the future and guarantee a good asistant. The reason it would be better to do this with Rijkaard rather than with CQ is because Rijkaard has proven himself on the highest stage.

Cue the Nani jokes...

Rijkaard is fantasy football stuff.

Someone pop up Football Manager and search for good assistant managers

Playing footy manager and sacked Queiroz as soon as I took over Man Utd. I offered Rene Meulesteen the job, though I hardly think that game has any sort of crdibility.
