Argentina legend Diego Maradona has asked Manchester United to part ways with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in favor of his appointment as the club's new manager. The 58-year-old insists that he is the man capable of changing the fortunes of the Red Devils who are still struggling to find its feet, six years after Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.
Despite his illustrious footballing career, Maradona has had very little luck in dugouts as manager. Currently the head coach of Mexican second-division side, Dorados, the 1986 World Cup winner narrowly missed out on promotion for the second season running.
In 2008, the former Napoli and Barcelona star was appointed as the manager of the Argentine national team. However, his stint was short lived following a disappointing spell at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in Germany.
Although Manchester United recently appointed Solskjaer to replace Jose Mourinho with Manchester United's struggles refusing to fade out, Maradona believes that he could most certainly steer the Red Devils in the right direction should he be given the nod.
"If Manchester [United] need a coach, I'm the man to do it," Maradona told FourFourTwo.
"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."
