Jorge Mendes believes Manchester United can
never properly replace Alex Ferguson despite
their recent signs of improvement under
manager Louis van Gaal.
Ferguson retired from football in May 2013,
with Scottish compatriot David Moyes coming
in as his successor.
Moyes - now at Real Sociedad - was sacked in
April last year towards the end of a season that
saw United miss out on European qualification
as they finished a disappointing seventh in the
Premier League.
Former Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Ajax and
Netherlands boss Van Gaal has enjoyed better
fortune in his maiden season at Old Trafford,
with United sitting third in the Premier League
and progressing to the fifth round of the FA
Cup.
However, agent Mendes - who represents
United duo of Radamel Falcao and Angel di
Maria, as well as the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo
and Diego Costa - insists they would be doing
much better with Ferguson still at the helm.
“It’s completely impossible to find someone like
Sir Alex Ferguson because he’s a god, he’s a
genius and to find a genius is very difficult,”
Mendes stressed
