Man Utd’s Chief Drops Hint Of Permanent Manager To Replace RR ( See Favourite Candidate )

• Man Utd football director, John Murtough, has dropped hint of a possible replacement for interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

• John Murtough said a “thorough process” is underway to find their next permanent manager as they look to start challenging for “top trophies” again.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that this season has been another challenging campaign for Man United, with a top-four finish, the best the Red Devils can hope for in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League remaining their only route to silverware this term.

Man United have been working under interim manager Ralf Rangnick since last December.
The German gaffer succeeded Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a poor start to the season.

“We know that consistency is key as we strive for a top-four finish this season,” Murtough was quoted by Man United’s official website as saying on Tuesday.

“I want to reiterate, however, that this isn’t the ultimate objective for Manchester United, and everyone at the club is focused on challenging for the top trophies.

“We are now conducting a thorough process for the appointment of a new permanent manager who will take charge this summer, with the objective to get us back to challenging for those domestic and European titles.”

However, Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino and Ajax coach Erik ten Hag are among the favourites to permanently succeed Ralf Rangnick at a club that Murtough believes are on the right track.

The football director said the women’s team are “enjoying a strong campaign” under Marc Skinner, with work having begun to recruit a Head of Women’s Football, while he flagged United’s recent appointment of a Director of Data Science.

Murtough told investors: “Overall, while there is potential for further improvement and progress, we do feel that we now have the right structures in place across our men’s, women’s and academy teams to support long-term success and we will continue working relentlessly and investing to achieve that.”
