United's official manager for next season is likely to be released early and the answer will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Laurie Whitwell, a Manchester United reporter for The Athletic, reports that the Red Devils' selection has been underway for some time, and the club's new CEO, Richard Arnold, is closely overseeing the selection process and wants to know about each candidate.
United conducted the first round of preliminary visits, drawn up a shortlist of managers and management is approaching relevant intermediaries to determine whether the relevant candidates are interested and the potential cost of signing with United.
The Athletic sources point out that United have been in contact with several candidate managers and believe a decision can be made in the coming weeks rather than waiting until this summer to announce the appointment. Because United want the new manager to be fully involved in the team building process next season and beyond. The whereabouts of many Manchester United players also require advice from the new manager.
Unsurprisingly, United have been in contact with two popular candidates, Pochettino and Tenhag, while United have also been in contact with some unannounced coaches. Laurie Whitwell analyzed in the article that this is similar to Manchester United's operation on player reinforcements, first delineating the big list ABCD candidates, and then determining the final candidate after contacting in many ways.
United are believed to want a young manager to lead the team, with multiple sources close to the club saying Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino is the first choice. Sir Alex Ferguson has always admired the Argentines, and the two ate at Mayfair in 2016. However, sources also said that It is unlikely that Furjue will participate in the manchester United coaching work.
Pochettino's contract with Grand Paris expires in the summer of 2023, and Paris superintendent Leonardo denied Pochettino would leave, saying there were no plans to change managers. If United poach Pochettino, they will have to pay a penalty to Paris.
Ajax coach Tenhag also has a contract, but his termination fee is cheaper. Similar to Pochettino's time at Tottenham, Tenhag also trained many young players for Ajax, and Tenhag really won the championship trophy.
Manchester United's football director John Mottaf is the specific head of the manager selection, and this week he attends the club's quarterly investor meeting, where technical director Darren Fletcher will assist Murtuff.
As for whether interim manager Ronnick becomes a club adviser in the summer, it may take time to determine further. The team's final results this season will undoubtedly affect Ronnick's right to speak, and if United can get better results at the end of the season, Lonnick will also have more prestige.
