Former Manchester United defender, Gary Neville has claimed the club are looking to appoint either Paris Saint-Germain boss, Mauricio Pochettino or Ajax’s Erik Ten Hag as their next permanent manager.
Neville stated this during a feisty argument with ex-England defender, Micah Richards, after Manchester City beat United 4-1 on Sunday.
Richards suggested the Red Devils should have brought in current Tottenham Hotspur boss, Antonio Conte instead of Ralf Rangnick.
“He was available before he went to Spurs, he was the best available manager at the time and because he doesn’t fit ‘the United way’ – the ‘United way’? What’s that, you don’t win trophies anymore?” Richards declared.
“Conte’s a winner, he’s come from Inter Milan, why would you not want him? Do you not want winners anymore?”
However, Neville insisted: “Conte’s not a manager for United.
“He comes in for one or two years, he does a great job but we’ve been there with Jose Mourinho, they want to appoint either Mauricio Pochettino or [Erik] Ten-Hag on a long-term project and they needed someone to get them to the end of the season.”
