Manchester United captain Gary Neville feels Mark Hughes is the
man best placed to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson - when his
legendary era at the club comes to an end.
There is no suggestion that Ferguson is ready to quit in the
short-term, but long-term many are looking towards potential
successors.
Former Red Devils Steve Bruce, Bryan Robson and Gordon Strachan
have all been mooted as possible contenders - but Neville feels
Blackburn boss Hughes is the outstanding candidate.
"Playing with the likes of Bryan Robson and Steve Bruce, you always
thought they'd go on to be managers," said Neville.
"Some may have thought one of them would be our next manager.
"But I certainly didn't think Sparky would be a manager, yet out of
the three, he's probably now the most outstanding candidate for
it.
"He really seems to have taken to management."
