Mancini is currently available after leaving his post in Saudi Arabia last season.

It is worth noting that Mancini has connections to Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United.

The two share a common base in the south of France and are believed to have met at various social events.

Mancini's background and connections have led some to speculate that he could be a contender for the United manager position if Amorim is let go.
