Pep Guardiola says Erik ten Hag could replace him at Man City despite Man Utd reference

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes Erik ten Hag could be "the one" to replace him at the Etihad, despite giving the Ajax boss a glowing reference for the Manchester United job.

Ten Hag is the favourite to succeed interim manager Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford and has been interviewed for the position. United are expected to conduct another two rounds of interviews before making their final decision in the summer.

Other names in the running include Paris Saint-Germain's Mauricio Pochettino, Sevilla's Julen Lopetegui and Spain's Luis Enrique. United have been on the hunt for their next permanent manager since sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last November.
