Hodgson is in Portugal with his England side as they make vital preparations for the World Cup which kicks off in just 19 days.

But Fergie could have been casting his eye over Atletico's Koke or Real's Angel Di Maria who they have been linked with in recent times.

Fabio Coentrao is another man liked to the recently deposed champions of England, but with their Luke Shaw deal imminent and Patrice Evra extending for another year that deal looks dead in the water.
