Queirós to leave Manchester United?

Quieros According to the Portuguese sports daily A Bola, and reported on the Portuguese TV news earlier, the Federação Portuguesa de Futebol, the equivalent of the FA, is in talks with Carlos Queirós to take over from Scolari. Quierós is reported to have left Lisbon yesterday, although the Guardian reported that Gilberto Madaíl, the head of the FPF, flew into Manchester, without having made any decisions.

Surely this would not please Alex Ferguson, who is facing increasing pressure to convince Ronaldo stay at United, and will be facing Scolari in the dugout from next

season. A Bola reported that the deal could be worth €1,1million to Queirós, not a deal to be dismissed lightly.

So the question arises, could United see the departure of their star striker AND their number two coach?
