Former Manchester United great Steve Bruce set for management return

Harry Maguire and Timo Werner are among the worryingly out-of-form players who make our list of 10 struggling players in Europe currently earning over £175,000.Manchester United skipper Maguire failed to build on his fine England performances at Euro 2020 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and now Ralf Rangnick in 2021/22. Werner, on the other hand, has struggled in front of goal since joining Chelsea on a bumper £47.5million move from RB Leipzig back in 2020, scoring once in the league so far this season.

Manchester United have reportedly added Luis Enrique to their manager shortlist alongside Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag.The Spain head coach is believed to have the 'technical credentials' and 'winning track record' that the Red Devils are looking for in their next boss, as per ESPN.And he is the candidate which Cristiano Ronaldo was said to have put forward to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last year.However, Enrique, 51, is now in a World Cup year for his country, so United would have a big job on their hands to convince him to leave before the tournament kicks off in November.The other two men under serious consideration, Pochettino and Ten Hag, look much more likely to move than him. Several United players want the former Tottenham and current PSG manager, it's been claimed.Pochettino has not lit up Paris and has made it clear he'd be open to a Premier League return.Ten Hag, meanwhile, has had his future shrouded in doubt following the resignation of Ajax chief Marc Overmars.Who best suits the position? Let us know in the comments section.Enrique does have a more glittering managerial CV than that pair, though.He won two La Liga titles and a Champions League while in charge of Barcelona, and completed the treble with Copa del Rey success in the 2014/15 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Mauricio Pochettino could trade places this summer as Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain brace themselves for some serious changes.United will need to appoint a new permanent manager in the coming months with interim head coach Ralf Rangnick's temporary deal set to expire at the end of the season, and Pochettino has been the frontrunner for some time.Meanwhile, reports suggest that Ronaldo already wants out of Old Trafford despite only returning to the club in August, with a move to Paris now looking likely.The French giants are preparing for life without Kylian Mbappe, who has reportedly agreed to join Real Madrid in the summer, and are considering replacing him with Ronaldo, according to the Mirror.The switch would see the 37-year-old lining up in the same team as eternal rival Lionel Messi for the very first time.Speculation surrounding the Portugal international's unhappiness in Manchester has intensified ever since the Red Devils were dumped out of the FA Cup on penalties by Championship side Middlesbrough on Friday.Ronaldo missed a number of chances during the game, including a penalty, and has now failed to find the back of the net in four matches, and is now one game away from his longest goal drought in over a decade.With United out of the Carabao Cup and trailing league leaders Manchester City by 19 points, the only piece of silverware Ronaldo can now hope to pick up this season is the Champions League.Which club would benefit most from this swap? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...As for Pochettino, United made an approach for him in November following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but prying him away from PSG mid-season was always going to be tough

West Bromwich Albion back to the Premier League.The 61-year-old former Newcastle United boss steps into The Hawthorns hot-seat with one target in the club’s sights.Bruce’s CV showing four Championship promotions was enough to convince The Baggies hierarchy that he was the outstanding candidate for the job.The West Brom board paid little regard to some concerns from fans that he has managed close neighbours Aston Villa and Birmingham.They moved quickly to get their man after showing the door to Valerien Ismael.Within hours Bruce was holding protracted talks over how to halt the slump which cost the Frenchman his job just seven months into a four-year deal.Now he’s been handed the reins at a club hellbent on an instant return to the top flight.But it’s not going to be easy with a Baggies team on the slide and in danger of slipping out of the top six.At the start of the season they justified their odds of bookies’ favourites by topping the table and everything seemed to be going to plan.But just one win in their last seven leaves them in fifth spot, eight points behind second-placed Blackburn Rovers.The supporters turned on Ismael amid rumours of dressing room unrest and the club’s board moved swiftly this week to change things before they felt it was too late.Can Steve Bruce lead the Baggies to promotion? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...Bruce’s credentials for getting a club out of the Championship are beyond question.He has won four promotions from the second-tier, taking Birmingham up through the play-offs in 2002 before coming second in the league to clinch automatic promotion in 2005/06.He then worked his magic with Hull, getting the Tigers up in 2012/13 and took won promotion again via the

Manchester United shouldn't have rushed to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo, says former midfielder Kleberson.The Portuguese made a high-profile return to Old Trafford in the summer from Juventus.But since the £12.8 million transfer, the 36-year-old has endured a challenging season.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got the boot in November and the Red Devils have failed to mount a title push.Ronaldo has bagged 14 in all competitions and is the club's top goalscorer this term. But ex-United and Brazil international Kleberson reckons his former club might have dropped a clanger bringing him back.“To be honest, the Ronaldo experiment has been a bit of a failure so far - especially because of the level of player he is and how of late he has impacted the team," he said."When you look at the things he can bring to the club and what he brings to the fans, it’s not been amazing.“The current United team haven’t played well together of late."It’s a tough time for Ronaldo to have returned to the club.
