Manchester United: Allegri should replace Solskjaer says Hislop
Manchester United and Tottenham both admire Massimiliano Allegri, according to reports.
The Premier League duo have both endured difficult starts to the new Premier League season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Mauricio Pochettino respectively.
Manchester United have amassed just two victories from their first eight league matches to sit two points above the relegation zone, while Tottenham sit above them by just two points.
Allegri has been linked to the two clubs, having been out of work since leaving Juventus back in the summer.

Former Premier League midfielder Jamie Redknapp said on Sunday that, if circumstances were different, United would be looking at Jose Mourinho.
“Whatever way you dress this up, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a very lucky man to get this job," Redknapp said.
“He managed Molde and he managed Cardiff. Is that really the credentials to manage one of the biggest clubs in the world. I don’t think so.
“Do you give him time? There comes a point where if this carries on, you can’t it is impossible. But the problem is, who is out there right now better than him?
“If you didn’t know any better the next man you would be looking at Jose Mourinho, and he had a go at it and he failed. This is a very difficult job right now.”
