Man United: 3x UCL winner 'always been interested' in Old Trafford job

Carlo Ancelotti has “always been interested” in taking the manager’s job at Manchester United, according to journalist Dean Jones.

The Italian coach is currently at the helm at Real Madrid, but he could be set for a return to the Premier League in the future.

Ancelotti has managed some of the biggest clubs in Europe during his illustrious career, including AC Milan, Juventus and PSG, and he has won the Champions League on three occasions.

The 62-year-old has also coached in England twice before, taking Chelsea to the Premier League title in 2010, before returning to manage Everton in 2019.

Now, he could be in line for the manager’s position at United. According to reports, Ancelotti is a candidate for the job, alongside Mauricio Pochettino, Erik ten Hag and Luis Enrique.
