According to reports in Italy, Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has suggested Max Allegri would be ideal to replace struggling Erik ten Hag.
The Premier League side is in crisis after a run of dire results, culminating in the 1-1 Europa League draw with FC Twente and 3-0 Premier League home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
If they lose to FC Porto in Europe on Thursday and Aston Villa at the weekend, then the Dutch tactician is likely to be sacked during the break for international duty.
Allegri had already been mentioned by some sources as a potential replacement and now La Gazzetta dello Sport claim the Italian has a very special backer in this race.
They insist that Manchester United legend Ferguson has advised the club to go for the ex-Juventus boss rather than Thomas Tuchel.
