West Ham's Allardyce: I've always dreamed of Man Utd job

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has revealed that managing Manchester United is his dream job.

Allardyce has managed Premier League clubs Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers before taking over at Upton Park in 2011.

In an interview with BT Sport, Allardyce was asked what would be the dream club for him to manage.

"I think that if I said West Ham wasn't a dream club to have managed then I'd be in trouble with the West Hams fans [and] it has been a dream club to have managed," he said.

"But there's always been one and that's Manchester United so when I was trying to get promotion with Bolton to the First Division I always used to go and watch Manchester United play at Old Trafford.

"And playing at Old Trafford myself and going there as a manager I think in this country that was the one."
