The Italian is currently out of work after going on a sabbatical this summer following five years in charge of Juventus in which he won the Serie A title in every season.

Allegri, 52, is ready to return to football management and is open to the challenge of restoring Manchester United to its former glory.

The Italian has even been learning to speak English, according to reports.

Evra was recently pictured sitting alongside Allegri at the Tottenham stadium as the north London side were battered 7-2 by Bayern Munich.
