Not that I think Pep would be all that great of a fit at Manchester United, but they do get lots of love from the global media. I don't really get the impression that the Manchester United brand matters that much to Louis Van Gaal, but I could see Pep going for it in a major way. Plus, I could see the EPL tripping all over themselves marketing the resumption of the Mourinho/Guardiola rivalry in England.

If/when Pep does leave, I really would love to see the Bayern brass approach Philipp Lahm about a player-coach role. I could see Lahm having an outstandingly successful second career as the Bayern coach.
