Massimiliano Allegri
Allegri has been linked with the United job since before Jose Mourinho took charge in 2016.
He’s been out of work since leaving Juventus this summer, after spending five years in Turin.
He won Serie A with Juventus for five years in a row, while also winning four Italian Cups.
The 52-year-old has been spotted watching United recently, alongside former Red Devils left-back Patrice Evra, leading fans to believe Allegri is soon to become the new manager.

Mauricio Pochettino
Tottenham manager Pochettino was expected to follow Mourinho in taking control at Old Trafford.
But, with Mourinho leaving halfway through last season, the club were left scrambling for a replacement; Solskjaer.
With Spurs under-performing so far this season, Pochettino may consider this an ideal time to make the move to Manchester.
He’d have a much larger transfer budget than he currently does at Spurs. Given he’s become increasingly frustrated with a lack of funds at Tottenham, it may contribute to his decision to leave north London.
