Struggling Premier League giants Manchester United have reportedly tried to sign former Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Red Devils contacted the 49-year-old coach after Ruben Amorim’s dismissal.

Man Utd sacked the Portuguese boss in the wake of a disappointing 1-1 away draw to Leeds United.

Therefore, they’re now on the lookout for a new manager to fill the vacancy.

Meanwhile, Simone Inzaghi has emerged as a potential candidate to take the hot seat at Old Trafford.

Inzaghi, who swapped Inter for Al-Hilal in July, is one of the highest-paid managers in world football.

Indeed, he has signed a two-year contract in Riyadh worth around €50 million.

On the other hand, the Red Devils were ready to offer him £15 million net per season to lure him away from the Middle East.

However, Inzaghi has decided not to accept Man Utd’s proposal, preferring to stay at Al-Hilal.

Inzaghi’s men are leading the way in the Saudi Pro League and sit at the top of their AFC Champions League group.
