The Italian&#8217;s departure from Chelsea may have drawn similarities with Amorim&#8217;s acrimonious split with United and that may stop the club&#8217;s hierarchy from hiring him.<\/p>\n<p>But unlike Amorim, Maresca has a proven track record of success in English football. His work at Leicester City was impressive &#8211; comfortably guiding them back into the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>His record with Chelsea is what makes him stand out though. Winning trophies at a club which struggled to win silverware in recent seasons, as well as guiding the Blues back into the Champions League, should put him top of United&#8217;s shortlist.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention the experience he has of working with Chelsea&#8217;s youthful squad &#8211; a tradition important to United &#8211; makes him a good fit.
