Manchester United Handed Boost In Pursuit Of Next Permanent Manager

Manchester United have been handed a boost to hire their first choice manager for next season, after Ralf Rangnick's time as interim boss comes to an end.

The German is only in charge until the end of the season, with a couple names already mentioned as potentially their next permanent manager.

Pochettino was also heavily linked with dumping Paris for Manchester, after Solskjaer's sacking, and the Qatar owned club would then have gone for Zidane.

With the powers that be at Old Trafford not moving for the former Tottenham Hotspur boss, there was no need for the Ligue 1 leaders to go after a replacement.

However the report says that things are now different and it looks likely Zidane will move to the Parc des Princes in the summer, as part of a 'rebuild.'

Pochettino was reportedly game to move back to England, and join United, in November, following Solskjaer's sacking, despite being PSG manager less than a year.

He is looking good to win his first league title as a manager this summer but has been criticised for his tactics and failure to get the best out of the attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappe.

As well as Pochettino and Zidane, United have also been linked with Ajax boss Erik ten Hag and Leicester City's Brendan Rodgers, as they attempt to finally appoint the right man for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
