Manchester United are monitoring Thomas Tuchel’s situation at Chelsea as they intensify their search for a new manager and also have Sevilla’s Julen Lopetegui on their shortlist.
Three other candidates are understood to be of particular interest: Paris Saint-Germain’s Mauricio Pochettino, Erik ten Hag of Ajax and Spain’s Luis Enrique. Of those, Enrique could be the most difficult to land because he intends to lead Spain at the World Cup, which starts in Qatar in November, and United are intent on having a new manager in charge for the start of next season.
