<\/p>\n

Argentina legend, Diego Maradona, has called on Manchester United to employ him as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s replacement.<\/p>\n

After Jose Mourinho was dismissed in December, United\u2019s executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, decided to give Solskjaer a contract until the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian hit the ground running at Old Trafford by winning his first eight games, while he also guided United to a remarkable comeback victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

However, since that 3-1 victory in Paris on March 6, United won just two matches and lost eight of their remaining 12 games in all competitions.<\/p>\n

Solskjaer was given a three-year contract at the end of March and is now tasked with a major rebuild of his United squad, who will play in the Europa League next season.<\/p>\n

But Maradona is ready to step in if the Premier League side need a new man.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Manchester [United] need a coach, I\u2019m the man to do it.<\/p>\n

\u201cManchester United used to be my favourite English team for so long.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut now I have to say Man City. I know you shouldn\u2019t change like that but it\u2019s because of Kun [Aguero]. We speak a lot and he plays in a very good team,\u201d Maradona told FourFourTwo.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
