Former Tottenham star names the surprise manager that he thinks should have replaced Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United boss

Harry Redknapp should have been the next Manchester United manager after Sir Alex Ferguson retired, former Tottenham star Sandro has claimed.

United have endured a turbulent time since the legendary boss stepped down in the aftermath of winning the Premier League in 2013.

In the subsequent 12-and-a-half years, United have won only five trophies - two FA Cups, two League Cups and the Europa League - and Ruben Amorim is the sixth permanent appointment post-Ferguson, excluding caretaker and interim bosses.

David Moyes was the man tasked with filling Ferguson's void, but Sandro felt that was the wrong choice.
