Man Utd add manager to shortlist alongside Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag

Manchester United chief Richard Arnold is reportedly eyeing Ajax’s Erik ten Hag as the next permanent manager. United have been linked with a wide range of different managers since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking in November, with former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino being one of the most prominent candidates.

Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick insists he is not worried by Cristiano Ronaldo's goalscoring drought.

Gary Neville believes Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhüttl has summed up Manchester United's problems perfectly following the two sides' 1-1 draw on Saturday.The Sky Sports pundit took to Twitter after reading Hasenhüttl's post-match comments, suggesting he completely agreed with the Austrian's rather bleak assessment of his opponents."It’s not a big secret that when [United] lose the ball the reverse gears are not the best from everyone," the Saints manager said.In response, Neville tweeted: "Imagine being a Manchester United player and having a respected opposition manager say that about you."United missed the chance to leapfrog West Ham into the top four after being held by Southampton at Old Trafford.Jadon Sancho grabbed the opening goal of the game, which was just his second league goal all season, before Che Adams equalised for the visitors.Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed an open goal in the first-half, has now gone six consecutive matches without finding the back of the net - his worst run since 2009.Did Southampton deserve more than just a point against Manchester United? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...The work ethic of United's players has been called into question a number of times this season and fans have accused some of the club's attacking players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes, of being reluctant to work hard and press for the team.The Red Devils have struggled for form and consistency all season and there have been rumblings of discontent behind the scenes for months which only seemed to be exacerbated when Ralf Rangnick took over from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November.

Cristiano Ronaldo appearing to spit in the direction of Anthony Elanga has sent social media into meltdown.After Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday, a viral clip did the rounds showing the superstar appearing to gob on the back of his teammate.The more likely explanation is that camera angle deceived viewers.There’s a chance that Ronaldo spat behind the Swedish teenager and it just looked as though it hit him.But that didn't stop thousands reacting to the footage.One wrote: “At least he had one shot on target.”Another said: “Anthony Elanga get that head of yours washed immediately.”Another responded: “I saw this during the game and thought I imagined it but wtf.”United dropped two points at Old Trafford after a breathless performance from Southampton. The game finished in a 1-1 draw and Ralf Rangnick told players that they must learn to be headstrong and “get nasty” after they left the field to a chorus of boos.

Manchester United fans are worried Cristiano Ronaldo's days as a world class finisher could be over after he missed an open goal against Southampton on Saturday.The 37-year-old fluffed his lines completely after rounding Fraser Forster in the box with the goal at his mercy before prodding the ball limply towards the net, only to see it easily cleared by Saints defender Romain Perraud.The match finished 1-1 after Jadon Sancho gave United the lead in the first-half before Southampton hit back through Che Adams immediately after the restart.Ronaldo now hasn't scored for six consecutive matches - his longest drought since 2009 - and it's beginning to get to the United faithful, who appear to be losing faith in him."Ronaldo: finished," tweeted one fan after the game."Maguire needs to be binned and maybe Ronaldo too.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes launched an almighty tirade against his former club following their 1-1 draw against Southampton on Saturday.The 47-year-old, who never seems to pull punches when it comes to United, slammed Ralf Rangnick's side for being "all over the place" and lacking any sort of centralised plan."I think that’s the feeling around the place. There’s a lack of interest now.

Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is on course for his worst goal-scoring season since the 2005/06 campaign.Many thought when the Red Devils secured their former hero in the summer that the legendary forward’s return would be a glorious one.While clearly past his prime at 36 when signed, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was coming off the back of a 29-goal campaign for Juventus and fans were at least certain of one thing – goals.But while the Portuguese ace hit the ground running early on in the campaign, his goals have massively dried up for the Red Devils as the season has progressed.

Manchester United will look to bounce back from their draw against Burnley and break into the top four this weekend, as they host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea believes that it is a "curse" that has prevented his side from winning any silverware over the past few years.The Red Devils last lifted a trophy in 2017 when they were managed by former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.They won the Europa League and the Carabao Cup in that campaign but have struggled ever since. The appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2018 didn’t help the club return to their glory days, and Ralf Rangnick looks unlikely to deliver any silverware in his short but sweet spell in the Old Trafford dugout this season either.De Gea has admitted that he is confused as to why United have been unable to add to the trophy cabinet at Old Trafford over the past five years.He told El Pais: “I think someone has put a curse on us or something.

United's title charge has unravelled already, with the Reds having a torrid run of form which ultimately ended their title challenge just three months into the season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked, and Ralf Rangnick was brought in on a temporary basis, but even with the new boss, United have still looked far from what is expected of them.Meanwhile, the situation four miles east is much different.

Manchester United for making what he has called an "absurd" decision relating to Ralf Rangnick's appointment.Rangnick arrived at Old Trafford in December after being announced as the club's interim manager for the remainder of the season following the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.The search for a new permanent boss has been delayed until the end of the current campaign, at which point Rangnick will assist as part of his new role as a club advisor.However, the decision to bring in an interim manager on a temporary basis in the first place has left Sheringham confused.Speaking to Genting Casino, Sheringham explains: “In the main, when we're talking about Man United, I think the real problem goes back to Rangnick coming in, another interim manager, it's just absurd for me.“United had an interim manager in Michael Carrick, they let him go and appointed another, it just brings uncertainty to a group of footballers that should be playing at their highest level.“Rangnick is obviously going to chop and change with who he likes and who he doesn't like.“A footballer's mentality, if you are left out for three or four games is, ‘I really want to get back in the team'.Do you agree with Teddy Sheringham's comments? Let us know in the comments section below."But when it's an interim manager you can wait till the end of the season and say, ‘Do you know what? He'll be gone before I go, so I'll wait till the next manager comes in.’“It's another season lost when you have that sort of vibe, you only need to chop and change and rotate the team a few times and you've got a lot of unhappy players.“I think the actual problem is coming from the top.

Premier League side’s flops as the players reportedly become ‘frustrated’ with Ralf Rangnick’s training sessions. The Red Devils have improved their results, if not their performances, since Rangnick took charge, but still face an uphill battle to finish in the top four.They currently sit one point adrift of West Ham, who occupy the final Champions League qualification place, with performances having been increasingly disappointing.United were dumped out of the FA Cup by Middlesbrough last week, before being held to a point by relegation-threatened Burnley in their return to league action on Tuesday.Matters at the club hit another low point on Friday when ESPN reported that the United squad are ‘becoming frustrated’ with Rangnick’s training methods.Their complaints are said to centre around the fact that the German places a heavy focus on 11 versus 11 work, rather than dynamic drills.United’s interim boss has put his focus on improving his team’s organisation and shape, which has led to an improved defensive record since he replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.But some players are said to have hit out at Rangnick for his ‘old fashioned’ method despite that turnaround.What do you think is the cause of Manchester United's recent problems? Let us know in the comments section...And they have now been slammed for doing so by the club’s supporters, who believe the fault for their poor form lies with the squad, not Rangnick.“They used to be so bad at 11v11, now they're better and they're complaining?” one supporter tweeted.“Hopefully they feel so strongly they put in a transfer request and request realistic wages at their new club so the move is quick,” another added.“These lot have not challenged for the big prizes for years.

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?
