Manchester United have had a torrid few years this decade post the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Scottish boss left a legacy at the club which 5 managers after him have not yet been able to even remotely duplicate. The likes of Jose Mourinho and Louis Van Gaal also came and went.
Now another top boss, formerly managing PSG, Laurent Blanc has said that he was in line to replace David Moyes .
“I had a call from a director, I’d prefer not to say who, and some discussion,” Blanc told The Times.“But I was in Paris so it was very difficult for me to leave. We kept in touch but they went with Van Gaal in the end.”
“Managing in England is a big ambition,” he said. “I have big experience at Paris. It’s difficult for me to go to another club in France. I want a different challenge in England, Spain or Italy. I played in those countries, I know them, so I keep going to games and I see what calls come in.”
With Ole in charge now and Pochettino probably in the pipeline, an approach for Blanc seems unlikely.
