Neville: Mourinho faces long wait if he wants Man Utd job
Manchester United icon Gary Neville doesn't believe Sir Alex Ferguson is stepping down anytime soon.
United legend Neville, 36, has ruled out any possibility of Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho replacing Ferguson in the foreseeable future.
Neville, who played under Fergie for 20 years before hanging up his boots last month, said: "There are many great managers and there's always speculation about who's going to take over from Sir Alex.
"I'm sure when the time does come, Mourinho is one of the candidates who will be mentioned because of the success he's had elsewhere.
"He's a character. You have to respect people for what they do and he's very good at what he does. He's been successful wherever he's been.
"But it doesn't come into my head at this moment in time as Sir Alex is still going stronger than ever.
"It's a waste of time to start speculating who will take over from him."
