Former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is learning English as he eyes a potential job in the Premier League, according to the Guardian.

The Italian, who has won Serie A six times as a manager with AC Milan and Juventus, believes the likeliest job opening is at Manchester United and he is said to be watching on with a keen interest about potential developments at Old Trafford.

At this moment in time, Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has the full backing of the board and United are said to be looking at potential signings to strengthen the squad in the January transfer window.

However, the Manchester club have made their worst start to a league season for thirty years, having picked up just nine points from their opening seven matches.

If United’s form doesn’t improve over the next few months, it appears Allegri will be waiting in the wings if Solskjaer can’t turn the club’s fortunes around.
