Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo would welcome Diego Simeone to Old Trafford next season.
It’s emerged Atletico Madrid coach Simeone is being discussed inside the United board room as a long-term successor for sacked manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. For now, Ralf Rangnick is in charge on a caretaker basis, though will be replaced in June.
Okdiario says Simeone is a favourite of many on the United board – and has also received the backing of Ronaldo.
The Portugal captain has long admired Simeone and has made it clear to directors that he’d be happy to play for the Argentine should he be appointed.
