Man Utd contact Ernesto Valverde over interim manager role

Last updated on 31 minutes ago.

Who will be the next manager of Manchester United?

The former Barcelona boss was contacted by Manchester United.

A number of potential candidates are in the running to take charge until the end of the season before United hire a permanent manager.

United are looking for an interim boss to take over.

They feel that the recruitment of Mauricio Pochettino may not be as straightforward as has been suggested.

The former Spurs manager said on Tuesday that he will not be distracted by his links to the United job, as he was "so happy" at Paris Saint-Germain.

After a stint as interim manager, an experienced coach may not expect to get the job on a permanent basis.

He was sacked as Barcelona's manager in January 2020 after guiding the team to successive La Liga titles and the 2018 Copa del Rey.

'I am happy at Paris St-Germain', said the man on the Manchester United rumors.

He managed for more than 300 games across two spells and won the Greek title three times with Olympiakos.

He does speak the language but has not had any involvement in the English game.

The space to have a comprehensive assessment of the managerial situation will be brought about by the fact that an experienced interim manager will be working alongside current coaches.
