Reports suggest that Manchester United have contacted Carlo Ancelotti in the last few days to take over in the summer.
Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri writes on WhoScored.com that the Red Devils, who have been linked with Juventus’ Massimiliano Allegri recently, want Ancelotti to take the reins at the end of the season.
The report says that United intended to let current boss Louis van Gaal see out his contract until 2017, but that managerial movements this summer may change their mind.

The report says that United intended to let current boss Louis van Gaal see out his contract until 2017, but that managerial movements this summer may change their mind.
The club have reportedly contacted the former Milan boss in the last few days as they seek to find a high-profile successor for the Dutchman.
With many big clubs expected to make changes in the summer, this could reportedly lead the Old Trafford giants to make a move sooner than 2017.
However, the report also says that Ancelotti has been in talks with Bayern Munich about succeeding Pep Guardiola, although no agreement has been reached.
There is the suggestion that the 56-year-old would prefer a Premier League move to Bavaria due to the language barrier, but Ancelotti is said to be fascinated by the Bayern project.
