But what have fans made of the links on social media? Here, we take a look:

@BanterIronic: “Not a good move for me. There's a reason he's already been at 13 clubs and only managed 25+ appearances in a season 3 times.”

@FaustoTartini: “He’s 29 and not played more than 35 games for anyone. Would be a very strange signing but I’d trust this manager tbh (first time I’ve said that probably since the Keane days)”

@_WestHamReport: “Most West Ham fans will tell you he was one of the best players we've seen in modern day football. He's definitely still got it in there and would be a great move for him and Sunderland!”

@LRosssseee: “AN got Roberts firing last year and we helped Pritchard get back into his football, don’t see why we couldn’t do the same with him.”

@tenchylad: “Hmmm not sold on that like. Some huge names have tried to manage him with limited success. Undoubtedly technically excellent and at one stage higher rated than Pogba, but application has been an issue. But some player if a tune can be found.”
