Confirmed: Man Utd have new manager announcement timeline despite new option available

 

Manchester United are allegedly 

weeks away from appointing a new manager

 as the search for a permanent replacement 

for Ralf Rangnick progresses. Mauricio

 Pochettino of PSG and Erik ten Hag of 

Ajax remain the frontrunners, but there's 

mounting suspicion that Real Madrid's 

Carlo Ancelotti might be made available soon. 

In recent weeks, United has increased 

their attempts to complete their managerial

 search, holding discussions with a number

 of candidates. United officials are said to 

have questioned Ten Hag on Monday, but 

the Daily Mail reports that he isn't the 

only candidate who has met with the club's

 new chief executive Richard Arnold. 

Pochettino, the former Tottenham manager

, is also understood to have had some 

meetings with United's football director

, John Murtough.
