Confirmed : Man Utd set to sign manager 'better' than both Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino

 Erik ten Hag has been heavily connected 

with Manchester United in recent months, 

with speculation intensifying this week 

following claims that the club had had 

an interview with the Dutchman. Darren 

Bent, a former Premier League player and 

talkSPORT analyst, has suggested 

a prospective manager who he believes is 

better than Ajax manager Roberto Mancini. 

United have been without a permanent

 manager since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was 

fired in November after a string of bad results

. Ralf Rangnick was brought in to fill in 

for him, although his contract expires in 

the summer because he was only hired

 on a temporary basis. 

Following his stints as a director at RB 

Leipzig and RB Leipzig, the German will

 join the technical staff.
