Carlos Queiroz is top of Benfica's wanted list following the resignation of Jose Camacho, but the Portuguese coach believes he is in line to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United in three years.

Benfica president Luis Felipe Vieira will want to hear that himself from former Sporting Lisbon coach Queiroz, who said in a recent interview: "Benfica is a fantastic institution that has a lot of prestige."

Meanwhile, Ryan Giggs says he is not ready to hang up his boots just yet, despite the lure of a possible coaching role at Old Trafford.

Giggs, 34, who has missed the last four games with a calf strain, is only 13 appearances short of Sir Bobby Charlton's record mark of 759, but is taking his UEFA 'A' coaching licence in June.

He said: "I am just concentrating on playing at the moment."
