The former PSG Manager has not managed a club for more than 2 years since leaving PSG in 2016 and is now thought to be one of the top contenders for the Caretaker Job at Old Trafford right now.

The Frenchman has the knowledge of the club, having played there for two seasons from 2001 to 2003, under Sir Alex Ferguson. Blanc knows what the requirements are at his former club and also understands the burden of expectations at Old Trafford.

As such, he would be a good fit for Manchester United until the end of the season, however, it remains to be seen if he would be interested in the caretaker job.

Blanc has experience of managing top talents in his career, especially at PSG and during his time as the manager of the France National Team, and will be a good influence for his countrymen Pogba and Martial.

He has also been quite successful, winning 4 Ligue 1 titles with Bordeaux and PSG. If he does decide to take the job, Blanc has the experience to steady the ship at Old Trafford and might even propel them to a Champions League spot.
