Last updated : 07 July 2002 By editor

Shaun Bartlett who worked with Quieroz when he managed South Africa in The NOTW:

"He'll be the perfect counter to Sir Alex Ferguson. A terrific link between the manager and the players. He is a great communicator.

"People are already talking about him succeeding Sir Alex as manager and he'll be looking at that. He'd do a terrific job.

"He's very ambitious and he would have had the choice of a number of top clubs but taking charge at United will be his biggest goal.

"He has ideas about what to do with those players and is very good at helping individuals.

"Carlos is very knowledgeable and is always approachable.

"He likes a patient build-up. He doesn't like the goalkeeper to kick the ball, he likes to play from the back.

"With the players United have that shouldn't be a problem."
