Manchester United are set to snub Ralf Rangnick for their 'logical' list of potential permanent managers, but have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Mauricio Pochettino following reports of Real Madrid interest.
Rangnick took up the Old Trafford role back in November on an interim deal until the end of the season, but has previously hinted at extending his stay on a long-term basis.
However, it is believed the German is not in contention for the vacancy, with Paris Saint-Germain 's Pochettino believed to be leading the way among United's preferred list of candidates.
