Massimiliano Allegri wants Patrice Erva on his coaching staff at Manchester United if he replaces Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager, according to reports.

Solskjaer is already under huge pressure following his side’s slow start to the season, while United look like they could struggle to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Allegri is reportedly on United’s shortlist of candidates if the club decide to call time on Solskjaer’s reign at Old Trafford.

And according to MailOnline, Allegri is already planning his backroom set-up in preparation of taking the job at United.

The report claims that Allegri has ‘promised’ Evra a place as a first-team coach if he becomes United’s next manager.

Last month, Evra returned to United as a youth coach while he continues to work on his UEFA coaching badges.
