Manchester United considering Allegri

Reports from the UK press suggest that Manchester United are considering Juventus manager Max Allegri to replace Jose Mourinho at the club.

The Reds sacked the Portuguese coach a few weeks back and replace him with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the interim with a view to assigning a permanent replacement at the end of the season.

ESPN, The Times, The Manchester Evening News and a number of other papers and news outlets report that Allegri is among the name of candidates as the club are committed to undergoing a “thorough and extensive” search over the next five months.

Mauricio Pochettino remains the clubs main priority but the reports suggests United are looking at a number of candidates.

The Times goes one step further by reporting that Allegri himself wants to be considered for the role with a suggestion that he’s looking for a new challenge away from Serie A.
