adminLONDON. — Manchester United still have not found a replacement for their “genius” former boss Sir Alex Ferguson, according to football super-agent Jorges Mendes.
Ferguson stood down as United manager in May 2013 after collecting 38 trophies in a 27-year reign.
He was replaced by fellow Scot David Moyes, who lasted just 10 months.
Now Dutchman Louis van Gaal is eight months into his Old Trafford career after guiding the Netherlands to the World Cup semi-finals.
Mendes — who represents several top players at Old Trafford — told BBC Sport that executive chairman Ed Woodward was “the right guy to drive Manchester United to find a way to win important trophies”.
“But at the same time, he has just one problem — it’s completely impossible to find someone like Sir Alex Ferguson because he’s a god, he’s a genius and to find a genius is very difficult,” Mendes said. — BBC Sport.
