Manchester United have constantly been in contact with some Italian managers as they plan for life after current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer if results dwindle further under his watch.
Solskjaer and his players have not scored any goal in each of their last three games in the league and that barren run has seen them pick up just one point from those maximum nine points.
According to Tribal Football, a reliable source in Italy revealed that Manchester United have been in touch with some Italian managers over the managerial role at Old Trafford.
For now, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has the backing of club executive Ed Woodward and other board members despite the run of inconsistent results in recent weeks.
Ahead of the next league game at fellow Champions League challengers Chelsea on Monday night, Manchester United are in eighth position on the table and six points off the top four places. Chelsea occupy the fourth spot on the league table which is the last Champions League place.

Manchester United can’t afford to lose the Chelsea game at the start of next week as that will almost put an end to their push for Champions League football next season via the Premier League. They can still qualify for the competition via the Europa League.
Red Devils Faithfuls expected more from the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era which began in December 2018. Manchester United initially gave the former club striker the managerial job temporarily and he went on to win 14 out of his first 17 games in charge of the team.
His impressive start to his managerial career at Manchester United gave him the job permanently last year March.
Manchester United have won just nine games from the 25 games played in the Premier League this season. They are also in the Europa League last 16 and the FA Cup last 16.
