Utd allow Queiroz to head to Madrid

Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz has been released by the club to allow him to become Real Madrid boss later today.

Queiroz was highlighted as the Spanish champions’ number one target yesterday by Real president Florentino Perez and when Sir Alex Ferguson told today’s Daily Mail: “This is a wonderful opportunity for him, too big a chance to turn down,” the deal was as good as done.
