Diego Maradona believes he is the man to turn Manchester United around – adding that Paul Pogba does not work hard enough.
“If Manchester [United] need a coach, I’m the man to do it,” Maradona said in an interview with FourFourTwo magazine.
“I know they sell lots of shirts around the world, but they need to win trophies, too. I can do that for them.
“Manchester United used to be my favourite English team for so long.
“So many great players and a great team under Alex Ferguson. But now I have to say Man City. I know you shouldn’t change like that but it’s because of Kun [Aguero]. We speak a lot and he plays in a very good team.”
