Mark Lawrenson reveals his ideal candidate to replace Gary Lineker as the next presenter of Match of the Day

Mark Lawrenson has revealed who he believes should replace Gary Lineker as the next presenter of Match of the Day.

Lineker has presented the programme for 25 years but there remains uncertainty regarding his future on the show.

Lawrenson insists that it will be Lineker's choice as to when he decides to leave.

However, he believes that there is an individual already working for the BBC who would be a 'ready-made replacement' for Lineker.

Former Liverpool star Lawrenson worked alongside Lineker as a pundit on Match of the Day for many years and left the BBC in 2022 after being told that his contract wouldn't be renewed.
