Ferguson has spent 25 years with the club and achieved tremendous success, and is showing little sign of slowing down. Robson, therefore, doubts that the club is thinking about the identity of its next manager. However, the day will come when Fergie has to step down, and when the issue has to be dealt with, he's confident that Mourinho is the right candidate.
Speaking at the Soccerex forum in Manchester, the legend said: "As far as I'm concerned, and from what I know about Manchester United, they are not considering at the moment.
"How do you replace Sir Alex Ferguson? It is near impossible. But they are going to have to do that and Mourinho is definitely one would be up at the top of list. His record speaks for itself."Robson has been impressed with the work of Ferguson's assistants Mike Phelan and Rene Meulensteen and thought that they are good options too.
He said: "Whoever goes in there they will have their opinions and ideas, but because of the success United have had over the last 20 years, you can't go in and rip everything apart and try to rebuild the way you think it should be.
"How can you do that after so much success? Why not Mike Phelan and Rene take over from Sir Alex Ferguson when he does decide to pack in."
