LONDON: FIFA president Sepp Blatter is in danger of losing credibility as the most powerful man in soccer, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said on Tuesday.

"I think Sepp Blatter is in danger ... or has reached a point now where he is being mocked within the game," Ferguson said in an interview with GQ magazine.

"Whether he's getting too old I don't know. But things can happen to people in power. Look at some of the despots in Africa."
