Former Match of the Day presenter Des Lynam has made a surprise plea for Gary Neville to take over at Manchester United, claiming he is the "best man for the job" to save the struggling club.
Lynam's comments come as current manager Ruben Amorim faces increasing pressure, with United stuck in 13th place in the Premier League table after losing 10 of their 22 league games this season.
Amorim himself has described United's current squad as the worst in the club's history, a verdict with which Lynam also agrees.
However, Lynam believes Neville, a former United captain and current Sky Sports pundit, has the "Manchester United blood" and "powerful personality" to turn the club's fortunes around.

Neville has previously ruled out a return to management after an unsuccessful spell at Valencia, but Lynam believes he would be "remembered forever" if he could restore United to a competitive team.
Lynam's plea is likely to spark debate among United fans, who are becoming increasingly frustrated with the club's struggles on the pitch. /Telegraph/
