Juventus boss Fabio Capello says it would be a dream come true to manage Manchester United one day.
Capello, who has won the Italian league with Juventus and Spanish league with Real Madrid, says he is happy in Italy for now but is tempted by England.
"To be a coach of Manchester United would be a dream come true," he was quoted in the Daily Star.
"It would be the same for any manager, but I have not had any offers from the directors of Manchester United."
Capello has previously expressed iinterest in coming to the Premiership, and was expected to be in the running for the United job when Sir Alex Ferguson planned to step down in 2002, before the Scot to change his mind.
"United are a great club and they have a historic coach," said Capello.
"For me, Ferguson has the maximum respect.
"I am very happy with Juventus and I want to win the title and the Champions League and we are serious contenders for both.
"Always there are rumours about me being linked with Real Madrid and Manchester United.
"At the moment I want to end my project with Juventus and see them through to the summer.
"But I would never discard a chance to work in England if the circumstances were right. The Premiership is a very attractive championship and I would love to prove that I can work in England as well as in Italy and Spain."
