Manchester United's struggling season has sparked renewed interest in Arsene Wenger, the former Arsenal manager, who has hinted at a desire to take the reins at Old Trafford.

Speaking to beIN Sports, Wenger described the Manchester United job as a 'dream' for any manager, suggesting that with a few more signings, the club could challenge for the title again.

Wenger's comments come as Manchester United continue to struggle, with just eight points from their first six Premier League matches and a disappointing Carabao Cup loss to Rochdale.

Wenger, who has been out of work since stepping down as Arsenal manager in 2018, currently works as a pundit for several TV channels. In a recent interview, he suggested that Manchester United's players were not 'mature enough' to carry the team.

When asked about Manchester United, Wenger said: 'When you see Man United, they are one of the examples where there is potential there. But they have not found a collective way. Maybe these players are not mature enough to carry the team play of a team like Man United, altogether. That is the question mark now.'

Manchester United currently sit eighth in the Premier League table, eight points behind leaders Liverpool.
