Massimiliano Allegri 'wants to include' Patrice Evra in backroom staff if he takes over at Manchester United

Allegri, who is on a sabbatical, has been linked with jobs all over Europe as various managers come under increasing pressure.

The Italian is reportedly in contention for the Real Madrid job, should Zinedine Zidane continue to perform below the board's expectations.

He has also been linked with replacing Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham Hotspur after the Argentine's miserable start to the season.

And most recently, it's been reported that Allegri is now under consideration for the Manchester United job.

Evra was at United for eight years between 2006 and 2014, during which time he won five Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy.

The Frenchman is hugely popular with the Old Trafford faithful and could prove a smart addition by Allegri in this hypothetical scenario.

Evra has long expressed a desire to return to United in some capacity and has even been doing coaching exams at the club.

Allegri, who won five Serie A titles in a row at Juventus, is a proven trophy-winner and seen as an ideal replacement for the struggling Solskjaer.

Wake up, UEFA – it's time to finally start hitting the racists where it hurts
