Roberto Mancini 'emerges as a SHOCK contender' to become Manchester United's permanent manager next summer despite his past success at fierce rivals City - with Premier League return 'appealing' to the Italy boss

Roberto Mancini is a shock candidate to become Manchester United's permanent manager next summer, according to reports









Mancini, who memorably led fierce rivals Manchester City to the Premier League title at the expense of United in the 2011-12 season, is said to be one of several bosses under consideration for the role.

Despite currently being in charge of the Italian national team, Mancini has admirers at Old Trafford and a surprise move has not yet been ruled out, The Telegraph claim.

His position at the helm of the Euro 2020 champions will influence whether he is able to take over at United, though, with Italy consigned to the World Cup play-offs next March as they look to secure a spot in Qatar.

Manchester United resume first-team training following Covid outbreak in the squad - as Ralf Rangnick's men aim to be back to host Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday

On Monday United were forced to shut down their training ground for a 24-hour period in order to combat and minimise the spread of the virus. As a result Thursday night's  Premier League  fixture away to newly promoted  Brentford  was postponed, though there remains hope United can return in time for the weekend. On Saturday the Red Devils are due to face Graham Potter's Brighton at Old Trafford, in the 12.30pm kick-off slot.

WHAT WENT WRONG OLE?

 💬| It would be wrong to say that Solskjaer "can't" organize a defense. We saw on numerous occasions in 19-20 and 20-21 United play in a very compact organized shape It just seems like in 2021-22 he's actively choosing to not organize his team - to very predictable repercussions The criticism against Ole was always "yes, we know he can organize the team and get stuck in against the big guys, but what happens when teams let United have the ball? He falters."  He always could & has organized a defensive team at Man United, he's just *not* doing it this year 100 percent. I recall reports during pre-season about a change in system, and we have seen united move away from what really worked for Ole.  For me I don’t think you should ever sacrifice defence for attack. Attack should be built on defensive solidity to succeed. He’s trying to transition to a more pressing style with a higher line but the adaptation mid season is so risky and not paying off atm....
