Former Chelsea boss hints at shock move to 'special' Manchester United



Carlo Ancelotii was in charge of a world XI to take on Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United legends



CARLO ANCELOTTI described Manchester United as a "special" club after hinting at a return to management in the Premier League.

 

The former Chelsea boss has been linked with a host of top jobs in England.

And United might just be the 56-year-old's preferred destination after his comments following a charity match at Old Trafford.

"I must say that visiting Old Trafford is always very special for me, as it was the site of my first Champions League victory (with AC Milan in 2003)," he said. 

 

“I’ve always enjoyed bringing my teams here and I believe it’s one of the best stadiums in the world.

“There are many things which make it a special place, but for me it is down to its atmosphere, history and the tradition of Manchester United.”

Ancelotti took charge of a world XI that played Sir Alex Ferguson's United legends in David Beckham's Unicef Match for Children on Saturday.

While his return to the dugout may have been temporary, he put clubs around Europe on alert with comments he made last week.

 

The Italian has been out of work since being sacked by Real Madrid

The Italian has been out of work since being sacked by Real Madrid at the end of last season.

He said: "I had a fantastic experience in France (with Paris Saints-Germain)and Spain.

"The most important thing is to start; to find a club with a good project and be competitive. If it's in England, it's better.

"I will stay out until the end of the season and try to find another club next season.

"Not just in England, it can be in another country, but my idea is not to start now."
