Man Utd Next Manager: 5 Replacements For Sir Alex Ferguson

3. Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen_Klopp For anyone who wasn't previously "in the know" about Jurgen Klopp, they certainly will be now after his Borussia Dortmund team marched into this season's Champions League Final. The 45-year old is one of the most promising up-and-coming young coaches in the game and in his first season in charge of Dortmund, guided the side to the DFB-Supercup, defeating German champions Bayern Munich in the Final. Since then he broke Bayern's stranglehold on German football by winning back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2010/11 and 2011/12. Things are going extremely well for Klopp at Dortmund at present, despite the fact his side have just surrendered their German crown to Bayern. However, with many of his star players being ripped away from him, such as Kagawa, who joined United last summer, along with Mario Gotze, who recently made the controversial decision to join Bayern, coupled with the increasingly likely departures of star centreback Mats Hummels and striker Robert Lewandowski, he could decide to quit a side that has apparently given up on its ambitions by becoming a selling club. And if he were to take over at Man United, Lewandowski - who has been tipped to join United - could be that one step closer to moving to the Theatre of Dreams.
