With Allegri currently unemployed, Marcello Lippi has told the former Milan and Juve boss to wait for the United job.
“Allegri would be good everywhere and as a great admirer of the English club I would be happy to see him take over,” the 71-year-old told The Daily Mail.
“Manchester United is the history of English football. There have been dark years but the club is fantastic, from the backroom to the players, everyone can say what it means to play at Old Trafford.
“First of all, I think Solskjaer was an exceptional striker and a good coach. For Allegri, I consider him an exemplary professional who has the style of Juventus in his blood.
“My deep friendship with [Sir Alex] Ferguson allows me to say that he would be the best choice for United.
“Allegri studies English and is perfect for the British style. He is prepared and shrewd. He reads the game with great ease.
“He loves challenges and I respect him a lot, I think he is serious and prepared, I think he is a humble person. A great Italian who would do very well in England.
“I can tell you that he is ready for United.”
