Breaking news:Fabrizio Romano ,as new manager emerges ,is this the right man for the job ?
Transfer expert David Ornstein has
given an update on Manchester United's
search for a new permanent manager.
The Red Devils are on the lookout for a
new boss, having dismissed Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer in November last year. They
replaced the Norweigan with former RB
Leipzig manager Ralf Rangnick. The
German joined the club in an interim
role as the search for a long-term
replacement has continued.
The current two frontrunners for the
permanent role are Ajax coach Erik ten
Hag and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)
manager Mauricio Pochettino. Ornstein
has hinted that the search may be reaching
its conclusion shortly. He has played
down talk that Chelsea coach Thomas
Tuchel could be in the running.
Ornstein told Sky Sports:
"(Tuchel) wants to stay there (
at Chelsea) ,and if things work
out and the new ownership wants
him to stay, and he wants to be
a part of it, then I’m sure that
relationship will continue."
He then touched on United's search
for a new manager, saying:
"(Manchester United) are trying
to wrap up their managerial
process as soon as possible.
I reported earlier this month
that they want to do it in the
coming weeks, ideally by the
end of March. And that’s why
they were speeding up the
process."
Ornstein talked about the candidates
for the hotseat, adding:
"Mauricio Pochettino and
Erik ten Hag, in no particular
order, have emerged as the
key candidates, and there maybe
a couple of others too. It was
reported that Julen Lopetuigui
and Luis Enrique were candidates
, who were really admired by
Manchester United."
He then discussed the two frontrunners
, Ten Hag and Pochettino, saying:
"Pochettino and Ten Hag have
really come to the fore, and
it would (be a) surprise if it
wasn’t one of those now. But
in terms of who is it going to
be, that largely depends on
who you speak to."
Ornstein concluded:
"I think it is a two-way battle
most likely, and we’re going
to learn the outcome of it very
soon.Pochettino was touted as
the favourite following
Solksjaer’s departure, with the
Red Devils seemingly ready
to lure him from the Parc des
Princes straight away."
All signs point to Erik Ten Hag
becoming next Manchester United
manager
As Ornstein mentioned, Pochettino
was United's numero uno choice following
the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
However, Pochettino had previously
shot down reports of a move to Old Trafford.
Today, fresh reports from L'Equipe have
stated that the Argentinian wants to remain
at PSG. That gives the ascendancy to
Ten Hag in the race to become Manchester
United's next manager.
Ten Hag has shown no sign of playing
down a potential move to the 13-time
Premier League champions. He was
most recently asked by BT Sport (via
Mirror Sport) whether he could be moving
abroad ahead of Ajax's UEFA Champions
League last-16 tie with Benfica.
All signs point to Ten Hag becoming
Manchester United's next manager
as a huge overhaul at the Red Devils
takes shape.
