Everton: Michael Laudrup and Roberto Martinez targets Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup and Wigan manager Roberto Martinez will be among the frontrunners to replace David Moyes should the Everton boss succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. Moyes, 50, could be named as United boss on Thursday, after Ferguson announced his retirement on Wednesday. Former Denmark international Laudrup, 48, has led Swansea to the League Cup in his first Premier League season. Spaniard Martinez, 39, has been at Wigan since 2009. Michael Laudrup factfile Born: 15 June 1964 in Frederiksberg, Denmark International honours: 104 caps & 37 goals for Denmark Managerial career: Denmark (assistant manager), Brondby, Getafe, Spartak Moscow, Real Mallorca, Swansea Playing career: KB, Brondby, Juventus, Lazio (loan), Barcelona, Real Madrid, Vissel Kobe, Ajax Individual honours: Best foreign player in Spanish football the last 25 years (1999), Denmark's best player ever (2006) Did you know? Laudrup is the only player to win the Spanish league five times in a row playing for two different clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona. Laudrup also won league titles with Juventus and Ajax He insists, however, that all his focus is on Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City and the Latics' battle against Premier League relegation. "The most important thing is to be as ready as we can for Saturday and then the two other finals we have in the league after that," said Martinez. It is the peak time for us. We want our fans to be proud of us and that is what we are fighting for. What goes around on the outside doesn't affect us. We won't lose any focus. Wigan chairman Dave Whelan told BBC Radio 5 live he is resigned to losing Martinez, but believes he could do better than Everton. "It's a battle that I will lose at some point," Whelan said. It's a case of would Roberto choose to go to Everton or would he wait for one of the really big clubs? I'm not degrading Everton - they're a great club with great supporters - but is Everton regarded as one of the top European clubs? Well, unfortunately they're not. Moyes, who has been in charge at Goodison Park since 2002, held talks with Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright on Wednesday evening. Kenwright has said he thinks former Preston manager Moyes will still be in charge for Sunday's home match against West Ham. But the Goodison Park chief is starting to plan for the future without Moyes. Former Barcelona and Real Madrid midfielder Laudrup started his managerial career at Danish club Brondby, guiding them to the title and Danish Cup twice during four years in charge. He then had spells at Spain's Getafe and Spartak Moscow in Russia, before being appointed Real Mallorca manager in La Liga in July 2010. He joined Swansea City last summer, replacing Liverpool-bound Brendan Rodgers, and has enjoyed a successful first season in England, guiding the Welsh side to their first ever major trophy and ninth place in the Premier League. Laudrup still has 14 months left on his contract but, having also been linked with Real Madrid, Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has admitted he has a plan in place should he leave. Martinez's managerial record Wigan: Jun 2009 - present: won 34, drawn 36, lost 57 Swansea: Feb 2007 - Jun 2009: won 63, drawn 37, lost 26 Former Swansea manager Martinez was a target for Aston Villa in June 2011 but opted to stay as the Latics manager, and was also strongly linked with the Liverpool job last summer. In his first managerial job, the ex-Real Zaragoza and Swansea midfielder guided the Swans into the Championship in 2008. He was appointed Wigan boss in 2009 and has since helped keep the north west club in the Premier League, while managing on a low budget compared with his rivals. Former Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers, Fulham and QPR boss Mark Hughes, 49, who played for Everton between 2000 and 2002, refused to rule himself out of the running to replace Moyes. "It's not happened yet but it's obvious if one manager leaves there is an opportunity for other managers who are currently out of work, which includes myself," he told Sky Sports News. [Everton] is a great club, a club I had the fortune to play for and I really enjoyed my time there. It's an opportunity for somebody and I back myself for most jobs in the Premier League.
