Diego Maradona at Man Utd? The Argentine legend explains why he should replace Solskjaer

It was said to Manchester United that they needed a contact from God if they wanted to change their destiny.

This is the opinion of former Argentine striker Diego Maradona, who thinks he can do a better job than the boss of United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Maradona told FourFourTwo that he should replace Solskjaer as head of the United Nations, after their disappointing finish in sixth in the Premier League.

"If Manchester [United] I need a coach, I am the man who will do it, "said Maradona. Manchester United was my favorite English team for so long.

"But now, I have to say Man City, I know you should not change like that, but it's because of Kun [Aguero]. We talk a lot and he plays in a very good team. "

Maradona is currently director of the second division Mexican team, Dorados, with whom he has barely missed the promotion in each of the past two seasons.

United faces a major summer rebuild at Old Trafford. The future of midfielder Paul Pogba is on the line.

The Reds have already lost Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera – who joined PSG in free transfer – and Pogba would now be the next to leave.

The Frenchman was tied to a move to Real Madrid, Solskjaer is now ready to offer him the captain position to keep him at Old Trafford.

However, Maradona offered a scathing badessment of Pogba and questioned his attitude.

He added: "With United, I loved Ander Herrera." Paul Pogba "Does not work hard enough."

The former Pogba club, Juventus, also reportedly joined the race for signing, discussions already being held with the player's agent, Mino Raiola.

Reports in Italy suggest that United might be persuaded to let Pogba go, if Paulo Dybala is offered to the club in return.

Discussions are still at an early stage as Juve has not yet appointed a president to replace Mbadimiliano Allegri.
