Cristiano Ronaldo's choice to replace to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finally under consideration

Cristiano Ronaldo could soon get his way and see Luis Enrique become Manchester United manager - albeit five months later than the 37-year-old wanted him to be appointed.

It is widely believed that in the wake of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal back in November of last year, Ronaldo had identified Enrique as the coach he wanted to replace the sacked Norwegian. Instead, those at the top of the Old Trafford hierarchy opted to bring in Ralf Rangnick on an interim basis until the end of the current campaign.

It was a decision that hasn't entirely worked out, with the German overseeing eliminations from both the FA Cup and the Champions League within just over a month of each other. Rangnick is now expected to transition into a two-year consultancy role within the United boardroom, though it is unclear whether he'll have any say in who succeeds him as boss.
