Man Utd & Arsenal tipped to appoint Sheff Utd's Wilder as next manager

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is the man to call if Manchester United or Arsenal are looking for a new manager, believes Tony Cascarino.

Wilder has done a fabulous job with the Blades, gaining two promotions in three years to take the club from League One to the Premier League.

Despite the rapid rise, the South Yorkshire side have not looked out of their depth in the top flight, currently sitting sixth in the table after hammering Burnley 3-0 on Saturday.

His results have certainly caught the eye and former Chelsea striker Cascarino believes he is ready for a much bigger job, in fact, some of the biggest jobs in club football.

"Man Utd job, Arsenal job - Chris Wilder? Absolutely," Cascarino told talkSPORT. 

"There would be a snobbery around football that would go for Allegri or Mourinho. But I'm like, 'No, I'd rather go with Chris Wilder'.

"He knows football, he's a proper football person. Like Sir Alex Ferguson, Jurgen Klopp at Mainz, Pep Guardiola at Barcelona B - he's shown what he can do.

"I believe there are managers in lower league football who are very gifted and deserve an opportunity. Chris has gone through the whole lot.

Neither Arsenal nor Manchester United are hiring a manager at the moment, but Unai Emery and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are both under huge pressure after struggling for results of late.
