Manchester United are currently on a winning streak after a 3-0 win over Southampton and a 7-0 thrashing of Barnsley.
After a rocky start to the season with a marginal 1-0 win over Fulham followed by loses to Brighton and Liverpool, things start to be looking up.
However, it’s football and anything can happen at any time.
So once more, the United directors are working proactively to find a replacement for Erik ten Hag if things go south.
Last time the board looked at replacements for the Dutchman, the top pick was former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe even met with the German manager to discuss terms, however Tuchel walked away from the offer due to concerns around the directors’’ heavy input in recruitment.
Now, reports from Italy claim that if United do decided to part ways with ten Hag, The Red Devils are now looking to ex-Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri.
Allegri, who won five Serie A titles and five Coppa Italias while at Juventus, left his role with The Old Lady at the end of last season, currently without a club.
The report explains that United have made contact with the Italian manager.
Calciomercato wrote on X: ‘The climate around ten Hag is one of a sort of silent verification ‘And in this situation, keep an eye on Massimiliano #Allegri : these are the days in which some little birds have sounded out the Livorno coach even just for a greeting, a “how are you, how are you doing”, winking and implying that… if something happened, would you be ready?”
It continued: “Well, Max would be ready. He wants real football and in his scale of values, with all due respect, it can’t be the Saudi League. Not yet. The appointment never made with Manchester, United’s side where he enjoys a high approval rating from the club’s top brass, instead has the flavour of temptation.
“With Allegri the channel is always open and someone is taking the trouble to feed it right in these days, sounding out the moods of Manchester and what will happen between now and the next two-three months knowing that in this period of time every moment can become the right one.
“And this is true for #ManchesterUnited as well as for other top clubs between Serie A, Liga and Bundesliga, in addition to the Premier League which in some way however is a small big dream of the former coach of #Juve2.”
