Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson claims that it is "inevitable" that Harry Redknapp will become the next England boss.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that it is "inevitable" that Harry Redknapp will become the next England boss.

The two elder statesmen of the Premier League come up against each other later today when United travel to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham Hotspur.

"I think this will be the last time we meet in the league," said Ferguson. "I think it's inevitable that Harry will get the England job, I really do. I don't see anyone else in the frame.

"I know the FA are supposed to be drawing up a list and all the rest of it, but everybody knows who the press and the public want. The FA don't want the press against them, they would be panicking then.

"The drive and energy is all behind Harry, and I think he would be the right choice."

FA general secretary Alex Horne revealed on Friday that the governing body would appoint a new coach towards the end of the season.
