Queiroz may make return to United

Axed Real Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz is in line for a return to Manchester United as assistant to Alex Ferguson, according to reports.

Queiroz failed to win a trophy in his single season at the Bernabeu and is expected to link up again with boss Ferguson, with whom he helped bring the Premiership title to Old Trafford in 2002/03, rather than seek another manager’s position of his own.
