Subject: Barthez the bold choice as Schmeichel successor Saturday, November 14, 1998 It was plain speaking time for Manchester United yesterday as Jordi Cruyff confessed he's been an Old Trafford failure for two years and departing goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel put up World Cup winner Fabien Barthez as the man to fill his boots. Cruyff, who earned gushing praise from manager Alex Ferguson as the creator of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's two goals in the midweek 2-1 Worthington Cup win over Nottingham Forest, said: 'I have let everyone down at the club in the previous two years. I have never been available, I have always been injured. The boss, though, has always stood by me.' As for France goalkeeper Barthez, Schmeichel said: 'I would look to the goalkeepers who played in the World Cup for a replacement. There were some outstanding performers during France 98 and I felt that Barthez was the best. 'Having said that, Raimond Van der Gouw did very well in midweek and maybe the manager will stick with him and bring in a younger keeper.' The 27-year-old shaven-headed Barthez anchored the Gallic triumph outstandingly in France 98. He was also part of the team when Monaco, who, ironically, are interested in Schmeichel, heaped misery on Old Trafford in the quarter-final of last season's Champions League. The flamboyant Barthez would jump at the chance of moving to the Premiership and Ferguson is a confirmed admirer. Schmeichel will start fielding offers on his future from next week. He is expected to ask for at least a £1million signing-on fee, and a move to Monaco or Marseille, in France, or Holland for two years is likely before he returns to former club Brondby. As revealed in Sportsmail, Aston Villa's Mark Bosnich, who played three League games for United before work permit problems ended his stay, heads United's list of replacements for Schmeichel . United are also keen on Ipswich's Richard Wright, who was yesterday called into the England squad for Wednesday's friendly against the Czech Republic, and AZ Alkmaar's Dutch international Oscar Moens, who is one of the most reliable and agile keepers breaking through in Europe at the moment. Meanwhile, United's current No.2, Van der Gouw, was yesterday rewarded with a two-year extension to his contract, while the much-€ravelled Tony Coton becomes goalkeeping coach. Cruyff has yet to start a Premiership game this season, although he has scored twice after coming off the United bench at Southampton and Derby and Ferguson is mulling over whether to unchain the 24-year-old forward from his customary place against Blackburn today. Ferguson was full of praise for his performance against Forest, saying: 'I thought Cruyff was the best player on the pitch. He was superb and created the chances for Ole.' It could prove to be an important night in the career of Cruyff, who has shown his potential only fleetingly since signing from Barcelona. Cruyff admits that the crunch came in the summer. 'I faced the question: Were United going to have patience with me?' he said. 'If the answer was 'yes', was I willing to give it another year? It was 'yes' on both counts and now I am enjoying my football a lot more. It's critical that the manager shows confidence in you. Alex Ferguson, to be honest, has certainly done that.' *********************

FERGUSON NOT RUSHING KEEPER MOVE
By David Anderson, PA Sport
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson will not be
rushed in his search to find Peter Schmeichel's successor.
Ferguson has until the start of next season to find a
replacement for the Danish international goalkeeper, who
will quit United in May, and he will use all that time if he
has to.
United have been strongly linked with Aston Villa's Mark
Bosnich, who started his career at Old Trafford and made
three league appearances before he left because of work
permit problems.
Villa manager John Gregory is resigned to losing the
Australian international, who has also been targeted by
Roma, for nothing when he becomes a free agent in the
summer.
And any hope Villa might have had of cashing in on
Bosnich now while he is still under contract appear to have
been dashed by Ferguson.
'We've got until next August to sign someone so we have
got time on our side,' said Ferguson.
'We are looking at things and we will be sending people
abroad and assessing a lot of things.'
Schmeichel, who would like to join Marseille or Monaco,
has suggested French international Fabien Barthez as his
possible successor.

FERGUSON'S TRIBUTE TO 'INCREDIBLE' SCHMEICHEL Peter Schmeichel will leave Manchester United at the end of the season with a glowing endorsement from Alex Ferguson ringing in his ears. 'He's without doubt the best goalkeeper I've been involved with in my playing and managerial career,' said the United manager. 'He's been incredible - I think he ranks with the Shiltons and Banks and all the great goalkeepers there have been, and he's been a major player in the success achieved by Manchester United over the past eight years.' The Great Dane's eight-year association with the Old Trafford club will finish in May, the goalkeeper who turns 35 next Wednesday believing he is unable to cope any longer with the hectic demands of the English game. He said: 'The decision has been coming for a while. It just started as a thought, and over a period of time I've convinced myself that it was the right thing to do. 'It's not that I've just come in and I'm leaving. At the end of the season, I've had eight years and I feel I've done a good job.' Schmeichel has been an integral member of the United side since joining from Brondby for £550,000 in August 1991, helping the club to four League titles, including two League and cup doubles. He said: 'I've had plenty of good times. The first Double-winning team was probably the best team we've had in my time here - but to win the Double the second time, after we'd been written off, was fantastic. 'The way we responded after we hadn't won a trophy in the previous season and then lost our first game at Villa Park was great.' ****************

England could go for Ferguson now
Saturday, November 14, 1998
England could head-hunt a non-English coach if Glenn Hoddle
fails to take the country to the 2000 European Championship
Finals.
Noel White, chairman of the all-powerful international
committee, indicated yesterday that the FA's next target
will be judged on his managerial track record, not his
place of birth.
White said: 'When the day comes to appoint a successor to
Glenn, we'll be looking for the best managerial
qualifications, irrespective of nationality.'
That would immediately make Scotsman Alex Ferguson of
Manchester United favourite - possibly even for the start
of next season - should he agree to leave Old Trafford and
if Hoddle does not get a minimum of seven points from the
next three qualifiers - against Poland and Sweden at
Wembley, and Bulgaria in Sofia. Also into the frame will
come Frenchman Arsene Wenger of Arsenal.
White added: 'It would be completely wrong for me to
suggest we're looking for a successor to Glenn, who has the
total support of everyone at the FA and we're all highly
optimistic still that England will have a successful
campaign in the Euro 2000.'
That is when Hoddle's current contract runs out, and
Ferguson comes to the end of his at Old Trafford.
