Diego Simeone Tipped As Being Next Manchester United Manager

Posted by

Manchester United may find themselves looking for a new manager at some point within the next few months. But rather than angling for Jose Mourinho, members of the squad are reportedly keen on the idea of current Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone taking over.

The Sun has claimed it has been told by several separate club sources that many of the players believe Simeone is the favourite when the job next becomes available.

The tabloid newspaper, which has had a rocky relationship with Louis van Gaal, even quoted one such source as saying, “All the betting may be on Mourinho coming in but the talk among the players is all about Simeone.”

Until this point, Simeone has only really been linked with the vacant job at Chelsea as far as a potential move to England has been concerned. But now there is at least some reason to think he could end up at Old Trafford instead.
