London, Feb 04 : The gap left by Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson was so huge that it is completely impossible to find someone like him, claims Football agent Jorges Mendes .

Ferguson, who is widely regarded as the most successful manager in British football, has won 38 trophies during his reign at Old Trafford.

Mendes, who represents top footballers like Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Costa and Angel Di Maria, said that it was completely impossible to find someone like Sir Alex Ferguson as he was a god, he was a genius and to find a genius was very difficult, the BBC reported.

United appointed Louis van Gaal as their new manager following the sacking of David Moyes, who succeeded Ferguson.

Currently, United are third behind pace-setters Chelsea and Manchester City at second in the Premier League table. (ANI)
