Diego Maradona reckons he should be the next Manchester United manager – and can bring the glory days back to Old Trafford.
And he hinted that one of the first things he would do is get rid of £89million record signing Paul Pogba.
The Argentina legend, 58, is currently managing Mexican second-tier side Dorados de Sinaloa after spells coaching in the United Arab Emirates and as chairman at Belarusian side Dynamo Brest.
Speaking to FourFourTwo, he said: “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.”

The Red Devils have not lifted the Premier League title since Sir Alex Ferguson left Old Trafford in 2013.
In the six years since, they have added one FA Cup, one League Cup and the Europa League to their major trophy haul.
But it is a compatriot of Maradona’s that has forced him to switch allegiance from United to their rivals across town.
He added: “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 Manchester 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.”
If Maradona was to spectacularly replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – who has a three-year contract – in the United dugout, he would surely want to mix up the squad.

And while one of his favourite players has been allowed to leave for free this summer, he also suggests Pogba would follow him out of the door.
Maradona revealed: “With United I liked Ander Herrera. Paul Pogba? Doesn’t work hard enough.
“I played at Old Trafford [in the 1983/84 Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-final]. What noise, like La Bombonera.”
