Roberto Mancini 'could be an option to take over as Man United boss in the summer' with the Italy manager - who led bitter rivals Man City to their first Premier League title - 'tempted' by a return to English football

Italy boss Roberto Mancini 'could be an option' to take over as Manchester United manager in the summer and is 'tempted' by a return to the Premier League.

The Old Trafford hierarchy are currently searching for a long-term successor to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with interim boss Ralf Rangnick in charge until the end of the season before he takes on a consultancy role.

Mauricio Pochettino has been heavily linked with the vacancy, along with Ajax's Erik ten Hag and Spanish duo Luis Enrique and Julen Lopetegui.

But Mancini, the man who delivered Manchester City's first Premier League title, is also now in the frame for the post, according to Fabrizio Romano.
