Masimiliano Allegri ‘very close’ to accepting Manchester United job

Former Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri is “very close” to becoming Manchester United’s next manager, according to Tuttosport. The Italian has been linked with United job, after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s dismal start to the season in which they’ve won just two of their opening eight league matches. Allegri has made no secret of his desire to manage a Premier League club and the negotiations with United have intensified in the last fortnight. Allegri has also been linked with a move to Tottenham, which could explain United’s urgency in speaking to him over his availability.
