Unless this is a straight swap for Karim Benzema, United should tell Lyon to kick rocks.

United assistant admired by French champions

Lyon have revealed that Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz could replace Alain Perrin as boss at Stade Gerland.

Perrin is expected to part company with the French champions this summer and a number of managers have been linked with the job.

Claude Puel is reportedly the top target but Lille are adamant that he will not leave, while Zico has also been tipped to take the post.

Queiroz has also emerged as a surprise contender, with Lyon chairman Jean-Michel Aulas hopeful that he may be able to tempt Sir Alex Ferguson's right-hand man away from Old Trefford.

"I have thought about him, but it seemed difficult," Aulas told France Football.

"Now, considering the confidential information I just got, everything is possible."

"Now, considering the confidential information I just got, everything is possible."

I dont like the sound of that.....

we will see but he has been linked with so many clubs now its possible he may want to become a manager once again.

If i was carlos, I'd rather wait 3 years and be in with a chance at united than go to a new club altogether where players, fans and staff might not know me.

its tempting but i think lyon will get somebody else, there are loads of managers around waiting for jobs.

Yeah, I don't think he'll leave either. I think he was more tempted to go to Benfica than he is to move to Lyon.

Everything at the right time. Queiroz loves United and I don't think he could leave when Fergie is so close to end his managerial career.
