Former right-back Gary Neville believes Manchester United will be looking to appoint Erik ten Hag over Mauricio Pochettino as their next permanent manager because he will fit their long-term vision better.
Neville made the admission after watching United fall to a dismal 4-1 defeat at the hands of cross-city neighbours Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Although United showed signs of promise in the first-half, City were a class above in the second and cruised their way to all three points.
Not for the first time this season it highlighted United's desperate need to appoint a new manager as soon as they can ahead of the summer and a new era getting under way. Currently, Ajax boss Ten Hag and Paris Saint-Germain head coach Pochettino have been sounded out as the frontrunners for the post.
