Maradona: I'm the man for United

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", said Maradona.

“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”, ended the Argentinian.
