Former Everton manager Roberto Martinez has been discussed internally by those at Manchester United ahead of the summer.
The current Portugal manager is out of contract after the World Cup this summer, with a return to the Premier League being suggested.
It is almost a decade on from when Martinez departed Everton, having spent his years in national team management since.

Martinez believes he was unfairly sacked at Everton, but he could soon have the opportunity to prove the Toffees wrong by taking on the permanent role at Old Trafford.

MORE EVERTON STORIES
Martinez is Everton’s second-most successful manager in the Premier League era when it comes down to win percentages.
The Spaniard got his hands on the Nations League trophy with Portugal, but will have eyes on lifting the World Cup this summer.
Moyes still has one more year remaining on his current deal on Merseyside as his own future needs to be considered.
The Friedkin Group are backing Moyes financially in the transfer windows, but next season could mark his final year at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Martinez may be considered as David Moyes’ successor
It remains to be seen what lies ahead for Moyes at Everton beyond this season.
The Friedkin Group have already shown they are not afraid of bringing back a familiar face on Merseyside with their appointment of the 62-year-old.
Moyes has admitted he won’t be at Everton for years upon years, which will likely have the new owners already putting plans in place for his eventual successor.
Martinez is going to find himself without a job as things stand come the summer and he may well creep into the long list of options for the Friedkins.
