Michael Laudrup is the man one of the consortia bidding for Aston Villa want to install as new manager.

The Birmingham Mail says the AV06 group, led by deputy high court judge Nicholas Padfield QC, are looking to appoint Danish legends Laudrup and John Jensen.
They are the championship, European Cup and FA Cup winners Padfield hinted were in place when he addressed certain sections of the media last week.
Laudrup quit as manager of Brondby after four years in May, saying he was ready to take on bigger challenges abroad.
An AV06 source said: "We have heard that Martin O'Neill has been identified by Villa and if that is the case, we will withdraw from the running.
"We have our own management structure in place and will go elsewhere."
