Graham Potter has been told that he cannot turn down the Manchester United job should he be offered the opportunity.
The Brighton manager has been linked to the role after implementing a successful style of football at the south coast club, which has lead them to being a solid Premier League side. The Reds are continuing their search for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's permanent successor ahead of Ralf Rangnick's switch to the consultancy role upon the end of his interim contract.
The Manchester Evening News understands that Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag are the current frontrunners, with the club looking to secure their next head coach before the end of the season - with Potter and Brendan Rodgers also linked. Recent reports have suggested that Potter is among the potential suitors to take charge of the Old Trafford hot seat with certain bookmakers pitting him as an outsider to take the reins.
