Allegri jokes when questioned over Arsenal rumours

Rumours are growing that Gunners manager Arsene Wenger will walk away at the end of the season, with the Bianconeri boss one of the favourites to replace him.

“How’s my English?” Allegri considered, speaking to Sky after the 4-1 win over Palermo, when asked about the possibility of replacing Wenger.

“I started learning before Milan, now I’ve left it.

“They say I’ll go to Arsenal? You all say that, I just listen…”

Allegri has been linked with any vacancy at the Emirates, along with Bournemouth's Eddie Howe and Borussia Dortmund's current coach, Thomas Tuchel.

The current Juventus coach has won the Seria A title with both AC Milan and Juventus. He is set for another league title this season, with his team enjoying a 10 point lead at the top.

Allegri was also asked whether he would deviate from his 4-2-3-1 formation for the Porto game on Wednesday

“It’s unlikely we’ll change, unless something strange happens. Porto don’t concede many goals and they play on the counter-attack.

“Against Sporting they ceded possession to their opponents, leaving no points of reference. Porto are used to these games, it will be a good Last 16 tie.”
