George told BBC Radio 5 Live that following Ferguson is going to be a tough challenge:
"It's going to be a massive task for someone. He's done it all. His record speaks for itself. I think he's a genius. He's in the same class as Sir Matt. What he does or what the club do, when he does move, probably upstairs I think - where do you go? I'm sure in the back of their minds they [the United board] will be thinking ex-Man Utd."
"A lot of obvious names will come up. Steve Bruce will be in the frame I should think. Martin O'Neill gets mentioned any time there's a job going. If it was my decision I would go abroad and get someone with no connections."
