Can Jose Mourinho succeed Sir Alex Ferguson?
The tenure of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United has
seen the club go through an era of success and dominance both in England and
Europe, giving him a reputation as one of the most respected and admired
managers in the history of the game.
The Scottish manager has been with Manchester United since
1986 and has won lots of trophies with them; twelve Premier League titles, five
FA Cups, four League Cups, ten Community Shields, two UEFA Champions Leagues,
UEFA Cup Winners Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup, FIFA Club World
Cup.
When Sir Alex Ferguson finally leaves, the speculation is
whether anyone can even fill the vacancy that will be left. So can Jose
Mourinho replace him at Manchester United?

Milan draw Barca while Bayern beat Marseille
Though the match between Milan and Barca ended goalless, there was no dull moment through out the match. There were scoring opportunities missed between the two teams starting from the miss by Robinho less than 5minutes into to match. Barca took control of the greater part of the match and Alexis Sanchez thought he deserved a penalty when he came down following a contact from Milan's goalkeeper Abbiati.
With this result the second leg which will be played in spain is still very open as a win by any of the two sides will see the team moving to the next round.
The match between Marseille and Bayern ended with two goals in favor of Bayern. The first goal came from Mario Gomez at the tail of the first half while Arjen Robben netted in the second. With the two away goals Bayern stand a better chance to progress to the next round.
