Manchester United chiefs have interviewed the first of four managerial targets as they ramp up the process of identifying Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's permanent successor, according to reports.
Solskjaer was sacked in November after a calamitous defeat at Watford proved one humiliation too many following a disastrous start to the season. Ralf Rangnick was brought in as the Norwegian's replacement on an interim basis until this summer, when he will move behind the scenes to adopt a consultancy role.
Meanwhile, the United hierarchy began assembling a shortlist of options to take over ahead of next season. The club have set an ambitious target of identifying their next boss by the end of March, allowing the incumbent as much time as possible to assemble their backroom team and transfer strategy in time for the window opening.
