Former Juventus and AC Milan
coach Massimiliano Allegri is the favourite to take over at
Manchester United when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's contract runs out
at the end of the season, the Daily Mail reported.
The Norwegian coach and ex-United 'supersub' striker has "no
chance" of his contract being extended because of patchy
results, the daily said.
Solskjaer was called in in December 2018 to replace José
Mourinho.
After a promising start, he failed to improve the Red Devils'
fortunes and they have struggled to stay with the top clubs in
the Premiership again this season.
The Daily Mail said Allegri, who led Juve to five straight
Serie A titles and two Champions League finals, had the "ideal
profile" for the Old Trafford job.
Allegri has already turned down an offer from Arsenal, the
Mail said.
He has reportedly said he will not come in at Man U before
the end of the season, even if the team collapses.
The only alternative to Allegri appears to be former Spurs
boss Mauricio Pochettino, who is said to have several admirers
at Old Trafford.
Allegri, 52, impressed with Cagliari before coaching Milan
from 2010 to 2014 and Juve from 2014 to 2019.
