Manchester United's search for a new manager has taken an interesting turn with the reported interest of Massimiliano Allegri, the former Juventus boss.
Allegri, who won five consecutive Serie A titles with Juventus, has been out of coaching since leaving the Italian club last summer.
According to reports, Allegri has told Manchester United chiefs that he wants the job as soon as possible, with a condition that he be given the position within the next few weeks.
Manchester United's current manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has been under intense pressure due to the team's poor performance this season, with their most impressive game being against Chelsea in their season opener.
With Solskjaer's three-year contract set to expire in the next few months, Manchester United chiefs will have to act fast if they want to secure Allegri's services before the deadline he has set.
Allegri's interest in the Manchester United job comes as no surprise, given his impressive track record as a manager and his desire to turn things around at the club.
