Argentina coach Diego Maradona will be in Manchester today.

The Daily Mail says Maradona, the surprise choice to succeed Alfio Basile, is expected to meet Liverpool's Javier Mascherano, Manchester United's Carlos Tevez and Pablo Zabaleta of Manchester City over the weekend ahead of his country's friendly with Scotland at Hampden Park on November 19.

Mascherano is seen as a potential captain and Maradona, who has never been forgiven in England for his Hand of God goal en route to Argentina's 1986 World Cup triumph, also wants to speak to Tevez about his limited role at United.
