Football director John Murtough says Manchester United are conducting a 'thorough process' to identify their next permanent manager.
The Manchester Evening News reported in January United intend to appoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's full-time replacement before the end of the season. Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag of Ajax are the frontrunners.
"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," Murtough is scheduled to say on the club's investors' call for the second quarter at lunchtime.
