Steven Yeun Inks First-Look TV Deal With Amazon

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.

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.
