Sven Goran Eriksson is the man Manchester United want to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson.
Ferguson is under huge pressure to deliver success this season.
And it appears United's owner Malcolm Glazer has already earmarked England coach Eriksson as the man he wants to replace Fergie next summer.
It will cost the Glazer family £4million to pay Ferguson off if United's rulers decide to end the reign of a manager who has brought sustained success to Old Trafford during 19 years in charge.
Eriksson's reign as national coach is likely to come to an end after the 2006 World Cup finals - or even before if England fail to qualify.
