Napoli icon Diego Maradona believes ‘I’m the man’ to coach Manchester United but warns Juventus that Paul Pogba ‘doesn’t work hard enough’.

Maradona remains a figure of derision in England following his ‘hand of God’ for Argentina, which knocked the Three Lions out of the 1986 World Cup.

Nonetheless, the Dorados boss told FourFourTwo: “If Manchester [United] need a Coach, I’m the man to do it.

Maradona remains a figure of derision in England following his ‘hand of God’ for Argentina, which knocked the Three Lions out of the 1986 World Cup.

Nonetheless, the Dorados boss told FourFourTwo: “If Manchester [United] need a Coach, I’m the man to do it.

“I know they sell lots of shirts around the world, but they need to win trophies, too. I can do that for them.

“Manchester United used to be my favourite English team for so long. So many great players and a great team under Alex Ferguson.

“But now I have to say Man City. I know you shouldn’t change like that but it’s because of Kun [Aguero]. We speak a lot and he plays in a very good team.

“With United I liked Ander Herrera… I played at Old Trafford [in the 1983-84 Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-final]. What noise, like La Bombonera.”

Juve have been linked with bringing back Pogba this summer, so what does the 55-year-old think about the Frenchman?

“Doesn’t work hard enough.”
