Yes another what if thread @Bojan11
As I remember Pep had been asked, apparently there was interest in Ancelotti, Bobby Charlton wasn't keen on Mourinho (a bit ahead of his time there). I think there might have been more but it eventually meant that Moyes was offered the job. I think Klopp might have been asked too.
However, if he had decided to turn it down for whatever reason, who would have been next in line?
Too early for Poch to have even been considered, Roberto Martinez? Sam Allardyce has been praised by Fergie so he might have gone there. Otherwise in the Premier League at that time I don't think there was another manager who we would have gone for.
Outside the PL, there was Van Gaal who might've left the Holland job, Simeone might have been a strong contender, Bielsa might have been considered and I think it was too early for Emery.
You can then consider former United players, Lauren Blanc was considered when Mourinho left and might have been at that time too, perhaps Ole would have been offered but I think that it would have been too much for him at that time compared to now.
