Carlo Ancelotti has confessed that he would like to return to the Premier League and indicated that managing Manchester United would be an interesting proposition.

Paul Scholes believes that Manchester United are still in with a chance of winning the title this season despite the disappointment of their Champions League exit on Tuesday night.
But that’s not the only worry.
Since winning 2-1 at home to Wolfsburg in September, United have scored only twice in three Champions League games. “He is probably the quickest player in our team, if not the quickest in the league”.
“We were looking at the players Van Gaal has let go in his reign, in the last 18 months, I’m sure the team we put together would beat the team tonight”.
Bobby Charlton, George Best, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo could all turn it on in the biggest games and, if needed, drag United over the line by themselves.
“That’s always hard when you are playing for a team like Manchester United because the expectations are very high”.
“His position in the league is keeping him afloat but there’s got to be huge questions now”.
United hit back and took the lead in the 10th minute.
He sometimes ambles around and doesn’t always look interested.
“He is very talented, but he is 20 years old”, Van Gaal said of the forward, who scored four goals in his first four matches following a £36million transfer from Monaco in September. Gorgeous passing. That switch to the right flank, Draxler played a attractive one-two with Kruse, and then opted to square it to Vieirinha, so unselfishly, who finished it off.
Fans will be expecting to see an improved performance for a full 90 minutes, which might be hard given United’s current injury problems.
Paddy McNair is named in the squad despite coming off at half-time at the weekend with an ankle injury and his replacement in that game, Guillermo Varela, is one of several youngsters in the travelling party.

The 22-year-old scarcely features for United but the form of Memphis Depay saw Van Gaal handed the winger a start against West Brom in the first week of November.
