Manchester United football director John Murtough has warned the next permanent manager that he will be expected to lead the club back to the top of English football.
United will appoint a permanent boss in the summer to replace Ralf Rangnick, who took over on an interim basis in November following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and will move to a more technical role.
Mauricio Pochettino is the clear favourite to take over, with new CEO Richard Arnold keen to appoint him in June to give the Argentine most of the summer to bring new signings to Old Trafford.
