Ralf Rangnick believes it's "normal" for ex-players to comment on their former employers after Wayne Rooney urged Manchester United to appoint Mauricio Pochettino.
The Red Devils are currently on the hunt for their next manager, with Erik ten Hag close to being appointed. The Ajax boss has held formal talks with United, who are willing to trigger his £1.67million release clause. Pochettino has also been interviewed for the role.
Interim boss Rangnick will start a two-year consultancy gig at Old Trafford when his temporary deal expires this summer. United have failed to impress under the German, sitting seventh in the Premier League - three points behind Tottenham in fourth.
