Former France boss Blanc keen on Premier League move

Laurent Blanc has reportedly set his sights on securing a position with a Premier League club.

Blanc has spent his career in the dugout associated with French football, with spells at Bordeaux and Paris Saint-Germain coming either side of a period with the national team.

The 53-year-old was also recently linked with the vacant role at Lyon before the struggling Ligue 1 outfit opted to appoint Rudi Garcia.

However, according to Le10Sport, the former centre-back is keen to move to England, where he represented Manchester United during the final years of his playing career.

A number of clubs, including United, have endured disappointing starts to the season, potentially putting Blanc in contention should a position become available.
