Favourite managers to replace Ralf Rangnick at Man United
The race for the next Man United coach is heating up really fast. You wouldn't blame the executives at Man United for investing so much diligence in this selection. The glorious Man United days under Alex Ferguson are far gone, and a pile of embarrassing failures filling up their place.
 
The trophy cabinets at Old Trafford are profusely growing cobwebs from lack of use. Experiments with coaches like Moyes, Van Gaal, and even Mourinho have not gone as nicely as expected. And now, even the finest football predictions from sites like liontips.com don't always favor Man United to win as before.
 
There is admittedly a pile of managerial CVs on the desk of Richard Arnold (Man United's new CEO). This article explores the frontline contestants or favourites to replace Ralf Ragnick come next summer.
 
Erik Ten Hag
 
The Dutch manager is a popular choice to manage Manchester United. He boasts an impressive resumé, especially since he joined Ajax as the head coach.
 
Ten Hag caught the eyes of Man United's board after winning the domestic double in the Netherlands, followed by a semi-final finish in the 2019 Champions League season.
 
His domineering and fluid style of play is what Manchester United badly needs at the moment. This is coupled with the fact that he has turned the Johan Cruyff Stadium into a slaughterhouse for visiting teams, seizing every opportunity to bang in a haul of goals.
 
Another feather in his cap is his ability to turn previously average players into goal machines. This is evident in Sebastien Haller, who has risen in confidence each season in front of the goal.
 
Definitely, Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United should be able to turn the youngsters into goal scorers. With age not on the side of star players like Ronaldo and Cavani, Manchester United needs those who will step up to bring the seemingly elusive trophies back to Old Trafford.
 
 
Mauricio Pochettino
 
The PSG boss is another favorite to occupy the managerial role at Manchester United. His exploits in the Premier League with Tottenham, before leaving for the French side, PSG, are a major driving factor.
 
We see this in how he made the club a free-scoring side with Harry Kane as the headline act. Besides, he was the one that took Tottenham to their first-ever Champions League finals in the 2018/2019 season.
 
Football enthusiasts assume he understands the premier league more than other leagues.
 
Presently, Pochettino's chances of staying another season with PSG look slim after Real Madrid dumped the League One side out of the competition in an epic round of sixteen second-leg tie.
 
As a result, Manchester United will fancy their chances of swooping in should he lose his PSG job.
 
 
Antonio Conte
 
The current Tottenham boss is another prospect for the Manchester United job. The energetic Italian has an impressive trophy haul with different clubs.
 
These include winning the English Premier League with Chelsea in his first season at the club and winning the Italian league with Inter Milan.
 
With his impressive trophy record, he is the right man with the philosophy to restore the club to its trophy-laden days.
 
Antonio Conte's run with Tottenham has been modest: neither spectacular nor distasteful.
 
As a result, Manchester United will consider their options with him should he become free by next season.
 
Luis Enrique
 
The only champions league winning coach on the list, Luis Enrique, will bring his wealth of experience should he get picked for the role.
 
The current Spanish national team's head coach had a good run during his time with FC Barcelona. He won the treble in his first year as the first team's coach and the double the next year.
 
His loyalty to the 4-3-3 formation and his unique style of play enabled him to adapt to any team.
 
Definitely, the Old Trafford squad will not be an exception if he gets the role.
 
Conclusion
 
Ralf Rangnick's time at Manchester United is winding down following his appointment as an interim coach at Manchester United after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sack.
 
Regular inconsistencies characterize his time at Old Trafford, and it is a race against time to replace him.
 
With the plethora of good coaching options available, Manchester United's board has to streamline their choices to the best fit for the job. Someone who will both transform the players' quality and win trophies.
 
As they narrow this list down, there is a likelihood that one of those listed above will be the pick.
