O'Neill: No grand plan to boss United
Jose Mourinho is currently favourite to replace the 68-year-old Scot when he stands down at Old Trafford - but many believe Aston Villa boss O'Neill would be a good choice for United.[LNB]However, O'Neill said the idea of taking over as manager of the Premier League champions has never entered his mind.[LNB]Ahead of Sunday's Carling Cup final between Villa and United at Wembley, O'Neill said: "I've never thought about that at all, not for one second, not even way back when I was at Celtic.[LNB]"I think Sir Alex will decide, and I would think in about the year 2033 when he thinks to himself, 'yeah, I think that Champions League has gone past me for the final time', then I will have departed this earth long before him - because I've got a lot more worries.[LNB]"It's never really bothered me. And of course there's always somebody coming up, somebody whose name is relevant at the time."[LNB]O'Neill, 58 on Monday, believes whoever replaces Ferguson faces a tough job.[LNB]He added: "For anybody it would be absolutely an impossible job to succeed him. What can you do? Win the Premier League 10 times? You'd still be just starting out against him.[LNB]"I know Brian Clough went to Leeds and said he could win it better but he only lasted 44 days and to be honest, it wasn't his most inspiring moment."[LNB][LNB] Man. Utd 5/6, Draw 12/5, Aston Villa 7/2
