Manchester United have identified Juventus manager, Massimiliano Allegri as a possible replacement for Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho recently signed a new contract with United but report last week claimed that top figures at Old Trafford are questioning the former Chelsea boss’ approach in the wake of the club’s Champions League exit to Sevilla.
There are also claims that United’s hierarchy are unhappy with Mourinho’s treatment of England defender, Luke Shaw after substituting the left-back at half-time in the 2-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.
Mourinho also publicly criticised Shaw’s performance at Old Trafford, and United’s board are now concerned that the Portuguese’s handling of the 22-year-old will lower his transfer fee.
A top official at Old Trafford told Corriere dello Sport, that the club are keeping tabs on Allegri’s situation and look at the 50-year-old’s achievements with ‘interest and admiration.’
The report also claimed that the Italian is attracting interest from Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
Allegri, however, has a contract with Juventus until 2020.
