Claudio Ranieri: 'Jose Mourinho can become new Sir Alex Ferguson at Man United'

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri backs Jose Mourinho to become the "new" Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has claimed that Jose Mourinho can become the "new" Sir Alex Ferguson during his time at Manchester United.

Ferguson won 38 trophies during a 26-year spell at Old Trafford, and the managers that have followed him have failed to maintain United's dominance.

David Moyes lasted 10 months at the helm, while Louis van Gaal's stint ended after two years in May, but Ranieri believes that the Red Devils have found the right man in Mourinho.

"He may become the new Sir Alex Ferguson," Ranieri told Gazzetta dello Sport. "He will not stay in Manchester for 26 years, but he will leave his mark."

Mourinho, who has been in management since 2000, has won 22 trophies at four different clubs.

The Portuguese coach was sacked by Chelsea in December last year.
