| Pep Guardiola is in the frame to replace Louis van Gaal at Manchester United |
Guardiola has confirmed he will be leaving Bayern Munich when his contract at the Allianz Arena expires in the summer.
The Spaniard is Manchester City's No 1 managerial target and knows CEO Ferran Soriano and director of football Txiki Begiristain from his time at Barcelona.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is also keen on Guardiola and is prepared to break the bank to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

But United are also plotting a move to land the 44-year-old - who apparently favours the Red Devils.
A source told the Daily Star: "Pep always found the club fascinating. He likes clubs with huge tradition and United certainly have this.
"He won't be short of options when it comes to deciding his next move and Manchester City are an ambitious club. But United could still prove to be the more attractive proposition."
