Manchester United intermediaries have made contact with Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Off contract in June, this season is expected to be Ancelotti's last as Real coach.

The Italian is said to have agreed to take the Brazil national team post in 2024, though that agreement isn't watertight, says El Chiringuito.

Instead, Ancelotti is fielding enquiries from around the world - including from United.

United manager Erik ten Hag is said to be on shaky ground after an underwhelming campaign so far.

And United intermediaries are putting candidates on notice, with Ancelotti among those contacted about his availability.
