Thomas told Sky Sports News:

"I think he'd be the perfect choice. I think he's a
fantastic manager for Wales and I think he'd do fantastic in
the Premiership. To work with someone like Alex Ferguson,
what a great opportunity that would be for Mark.

"Obviously it would be a distraction because he wants to get
Wales to Portugal, if he could do that it would be a
fantastic achievement and the first time ever for Wales.

"That would obviously be his top priority but I think when
Manchester United come knocking on your door, you have to
answer that door and go along with whatever they say.

"Mark Hughes is his own man and knows what is best for his
future, but if this opportunity does come I'm sure it will
be too difficult to turn down."
