The Former France International Laurent Blanc is being considered by the Manchester United board as they search for the man to replace Jose Mourinho until the end of the season, according to Sky Sports.
Jose Mourinho has been sacked as Manchester United manager after only 17 games of the 2018/19 season, with the club sixth in the table and 19 points behind leaders Liverpool.
Blanc finished his career with a Premier League winners’ medal under Sir Alex Ferguson. He guided Bordeaux to an unlikely second-placed finish in his first season before claiming the Ligue 1 title the following year after setting a then competition record of 11 straight victories. Blanc became France manager in 2010 and lost to eventual 2012 World Cup winners Spain at the quarter-final stage before stepping down after the tournament.
Paris Saint Germain followed, where he won 11 trophies in three seasons before he left in 2016. Blanc may have been out of the game for two years, but he demands an expansive brand of football which United fans are craving for.
