Fabio Capello thinks Allegri should choose Man United over Bayern Munich
Manchester United are slumping lately as they are in the 10th position in the PL standings. The Red Devils have picked up just 13 points from 11 matches, with only one win in their last 5 games.
Manchester United were handed a 1-0 loss by Bournemouth last weekend and due to this result, the position of head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains doubtful.
Former Juventus and AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has been rumored to replace Solskjaer if United fail to improve their performance. However, Bayern Munich are also interested to bring in Allegri after sacking Niko Kovac following a 5-1 loss against Frankfurt last weekend.
Former England manager Fabio Capello thinks Massimiliano Allegri should choose Manchester United instead of Bayern Munich. “England’s exciting, there’s the possibility of working well and the Premier League is a championship that enriches you. If I was Allegri, I’d go to Manchester.” Capello said.
Capello, who has also served as AC Milan and Juventus coach in the past, added that Allegri would fit in ideally with the young and talented United squad.

Serie A giants confident of permanent deal for Man United defender
Serie A giants AS Roma are reportedly confident of signing Chris Smalling on a permanent basis from Manchester United when the season comes to a close.
The England international joined the Giallorossi on a season-long loan from the Red Devils over the summer but they were not able to agree on the option to buy.
Earlier this week, it had been indicated that the Red Devils may consider keeping the services of Smalling next season with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer impressed with the centre-back’s performances in Rome.
However, according to Sky Italia, that does not seem the case and the Italian are growingly optimistic of committing the central defender to a long-term contract with the club.
Smalling, who made 34 appearances for the Red Devils last season, is currently said to be valued at around £12.9m and that remains within the range of the Giallorossi next summer.
Roma recently registered a second successive league victory and that has propelled them into the top four. Next up, they have a tricky challenge with Napoli, who are one point behind them, making the trip to Stadio Olimpico.

News » Premier League news » West Ham news
Former West Ham United striker Dean Ashton advises Declan Rice not to join Manchester United. According to him, the young midfielder must at least wait for one or two seasons.
Recently, the young Englishman has been linked with Manchester United. In fact, a number of sources have reported the Red Devils are ready to spend 100 million pounds to sign Rice.
Ashton says that it is not the time for Rice to move to a bigger club. The former England national team player who retired early thinks that West Ham is the right club for the development of Rice’s career.
“I feel as if he’s still got improvements to make and there is no better place to learn and do that than West Ham.” Ashton said.
Pundits believe Declan Rice is to replace Michael Carrick at Manchester United. Both players share similarities in their styles of play. It is also worth mentioning that Rice and Carrick had both graduated from the West Ham academy.

“At such a young age, he already has great pace and intelligence and he is such a natural finisher. Since he came into the first team, he has really impressed everyone with his drive and attitude, he has all the attributes to become a top player.”
