Former Bayern Munich manager Ottmar Hitzfeld claims he has been offered a job by Manchester United.

The German has been out of football for 18 months but is planning a comeback.


And according to the News of the World, Hitzfeld told German newspaper Die Zeit: 'Yes, there has been an offer from United.

'I want to get back to football and next summer would be a good time to do that. I am ready for a new challenge.'

'My wife Beatrix would go to Manchester with me.'

Hitzfeld, 56, coached United transfer target Michael Ballack at Bayern and would like to see Germany's midfield star play abroad.

'Michael is a world-class player and as a fan of Germany I would say it would be good for our national team if one of our top players went abroad again,' said Hitzfeld.
