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.

Beijing Winter Olympics - and caught the whole thing on his helmet camera providing frightening results.The 28-year-old raced in a semi-final that included Canada's Eliot Grondin, Austria's Alessandro Hammerle and Merlin Surget of France - but finished last to miss out on a medal race.Later competing in the small final to determine his ranking among the unsuccessful competitors, Eguibar went up against American Jake Vedder and Tommaso Leoni of Italy as well as Surget again.Wearing a helmet camera in a bid to show those at home what it looks like for the riders, the footage had a different effect after he crashed.With Surget leading and Vedder taking a wide line coming up to a jump, Leoni slipped onto his back directly in front of the unfortunate Eguibar.With his camera still live on the broadcast, the 28-year-old couldn't avoid making contact with his fallen rival before bouncing off the back of Vedder.With the US rider somehow staying upright to chase down Surget, Eguibar did a full 180 before continuing the race to finish in third.Is snowboard cross the best event at the Winter Olympics?

Liverpool have been dealt a bonus blow after Xherdan Shaqiri completed his transfer from Lyon to Chicago Fire.The Swiss star only joined the Ligue 1 outfit last summer as he brought an end to a three-year stint on Merseyside.However, after less than six months, the 30-year-old has found himself on the move again, this time heading to the MLS with Chicago Fire in a club-record £5.9million deal.Remarkably, that figure is more than the French club paid for his services back in August.While Lyon will undoubtedly be delighted at having made a profit on the winger, his former club Liverpool have been left significantly out of pocket following his latest transfer.The Ligue 1 side purchased Shaqiri for a fee in the region of £5m last summer as the Reds agreed for a significant chunk of the transfer to be made up of bonuses.The structure of the deal means Lyon paid out an initial €6m with another €5m - close to 50% of the initial fee - potentially on top, based on performance-related add-ons.While it remains to be seen what those bonuses entailed, the fact the attacker made a mere 16 appearances for the French side, only scoring twice and assisting on three occasions, suggests Liverpool are likely to miss out on any additional windfall.Will Xherdan Shaqiri be a success in the MLS with Chicago Fire?
