Speaking to talkSPORT, Hamann claimed that the former Liverpool boss and the struggling champions would be a ‘good match’, and that despite Benitez’ run-ins with former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, the Spaniard could be the answer for the club,





Current Napoli boss Benitez spent last season at Stamford Bridge in what was an ultimately fruitful spell as interim coach, with the Spaniard leading the Blues to Europa League glory, and finishing in third place in the league.


He also guided bitter rivals Liverpool to the Champions League in 2005, and his appointment at Manchester United would surely be met with outrage and derision by the fans considering his ties with the Anfield outfit, and that the 54-year-old was seen in such bad light by Sir Alex during previous clashes.

What do you think? Would Benitez work at United? Let me know in the comments below…
