Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has already warned Manchester United-linked Julen Lopetegui that a string of bad results can spell doom.
The Sevilla manager has been linked with the manager's job at Old Trafford as the United hierarchy narrow down their list of candidates for the position. Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino are among the possible suitors, with Spain head coach Luis Enrique also said to be on the list.
Lopetegui saw his stock fall dramatically after being sacked by Real Madrid back in 2018. The Spaniard lasted just four months at the helm of Los Blancos before being replaced by Santiago Solari.
