Moreover, the team has no depth.

Mourinho is after the United job when Fergie retires so IF (I doubt) he went to Liverpool be short term but if he is after the Man U job the Old Trafford would hardly welcome an ex Liverpool manager would they, there was a piece in todays papers which was interesting reading.
The names they put forward were, Jose Mourinho, Kenny Dalglish, Guus Hiddink, Martin O'Neill, Roy Hodgson, Laurent Blanc, Michael Laudrup, Jurgen Klinsmann, Alex McLeish and Ronnie Whelan.
Out of those I'd be looking at Roy Hodgson although he's a bit old, Laurent Blanc but he could be ear marked for Old Trafford if rumours are true which could open up Mourinho but he'd want money which they don't have. I don't really know much of what Laurdup is like as a manager, at the moment I'd be looking at McLeish and don't forget it was a Scot who built them so maybe it could be a Scot who rebuilds them.
