Who is the best manager who played under Ferguson?

NONE of Fergie's disciples have truly become icons of management. Trophies and promotions are mixed with sackings and fading into obscurity.

Laurent Blanc achieved plenty of success with PSG after winning a title with Bordeaux and is probably the most accomplished for now.

But when it’s all said and done, who could be remembered as the best?

Michael Carrick enjoyed a steady spell with Middlesbrough before being relieved of his duties.

He has already had an endorsement from Cristiano Ronaldo for what he can achieve as a coach.

The midfielder was understated during his playing career and his experience at the very top without being a superstar who cannot connect should stand him in good stead.

If you wanted to be harsh, you might say the managerial careers of Ferguson's United charges show he was a man who developed players rather than bosses.

More generously, you might use it to argue his singular managerial talents were something not even he could teach.
