Man Utd will fight Spurs for Real Madrid coach Queiroz

Tottenham will face a battle with Manchester United if they choose to move for Real Madrid trainer Carlos Queiroz.

The Portuguese will be shown the door at the end of the Spanish season next week and has emerged as a top target for Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.

However, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson wants Queiroz to return to his job as assistant manager at Old Trafford.

Queiroz has confirmed several times in recent months that he'd welcome a move back to United.
