Manchester United have been urged to consider appointing Roberto Mancini as the club's new manager - just days after the Italy chief saw his side fail to qualify for the World Cup.
United are set to finally appoint a new boss at the end of the season when Ralf Rangnick's interim reign concludes. The German was drafted in on a temporary basis back in December after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been axed.
Reports in recent weeks have claimed that Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag both top a four-man shortlist for the coveted vacancy. Luis Enrique and Julen Lopetegui are also under consideration for the role, although Ten Hag has seemingly nudged ahead in the race for the job after completing an interview with the club earlier in the week.
