Manchester United still employ nine of the starters that faced a 4-0 drubbing in 2019 despite promising to overhaul their squad.United, managed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the time, were totally outclassed by Everton at Goodison Park in their 2018/19 clash. Solskjaer came out after the match and said his players were not working hard enough, before claiming certain stars would not be a part of his future plans.But fast forward to United’s 1-0 defeat at Everton on Saturday and a staggering nine players are still at the club. Six of them featured on the weekend as Ralf Rangnick suffered yet another blow to his top-four hopes.Solskjaer had said in 2019: “You have got to ask them.

Manchester United's glory days.Ajax boss Ten Hag is set to finalise his move to the Red Devils and become the club's fifth permanent manager in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era. The 52-year-old Dutchman has a verbal agreement in place to take charge at Old Trafford and is expected to begin his new role at the end of the season. Ten Hag has an uphill battle to turn United's fortunes around after a dismal campaign.

Manchester United should be seriously considering the futures of all but three of their players in the summer transfer window, according to Mark Bosnich. Erik ten Hag is poised to become United’s new manager this summer and the club are ready to begin an overhaul of the squad to back the Dutchman. While the likes of Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani are all expected to leave when their current contracts expire, they are far from the only players facing uncertain futures.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been blamed for Manchester United replacing Marcus Rashford on Saturday in their defeat to Everton.

Cristiano Ronaldo around at Manchester United, according to former Dutch footballer Sjoerd Overgoor. The current Ajax boss has verbally agreed to become the Red Devils new manager and is expected to take the reins at Old Trafford at the end of the season.

Rio Ferdinand has revealed that Manchester United's failed pursuit of Karim Benzema is Sir Alex Ferguson's biggest regret at United.Benzema was at his brilliant best at Stamford Bridge in Chelsea and Real Madrid's quarter-final clash in the Champions League. And speaking ahead of their second leg at the Bernabeu, Ferdinand revealed how close United came to landing the Frenchman.The former Red Devils centre-back told the BT Sport studio: "I remember coming off the pitch and Sir Alex Ferguson said don’t worry, I’m trying to get him.

Manchester United.The Dutchman is expected to join the Red Devils on a deal of up to four years when he leaves Ajax in the summer, according to The Athletic. He will take charge as manager once current interim boss Ralf Rangnick steps down and begins his consultancy role at the end of the season.Ten Hag was interviewed by United two weeks ago and impressed United chiefs enough to become the frontrunner.

Sir Alex Ferguson's former Manchester United assistant manager has stepped down from his role as Egypt boss after their World Cup play-off defeat.Carlos Queiroz had two spells as Ferguson's number two during the 2000s before moving into international management, most recently as manager of the Egyptian national team. However, he has now left his role after seven months in charge following last months defeat to Senegal in their crucial World Cup play-off.The Portuguese boss confirmed his departure in a tweet on Monday, just over two months after taking Egypt to the final of this year's Africa Cup of Nations.In his tweet, the 69-year-old said: “To all the Egyptian fans, our supporters, my friendly and magical staff dream team and to my wonderful players.“Every new beginning that starts with one painful farewell means that our hearts are full of gratitude, respect, and friendship.

Manchester United and Erik ten Hag could face complications over any move to bring Robin van Persie back to Old Trafford as assistant manager - according to reports. Ajax expect Ten Hag to become the next United manager even though key figures at the club insist no deal has been formalised.

Manchester United appear to finally be closing in on their new manager after a hunt that arguably began when Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.Despite Mauricio Pochettino’s name having been in the ring for years, it seems increasingly likely that the man who will ultimately take the job will be Ajax manager Erik ten Hag.Since Ferguson bowed out, bringing an end to the glory years of English football’s most successful club, United has burned through seven managers.Ten Hag is reportedly not completely convinced by the possibility of taking the job with many major issues that need to be addressed within the squad.But who is ten Hag and what has led him to the position where he could be about to embark on one of the most high-pressure management jobs in football?Erik ten Hag is a professional football manager and former player from the east of the Netherlands.He’s from a rich family and has never needed the financial injection of the big jobs in management having come from a wealthy background. His family own a real-estate company and several other financial firms.His father reportedly wanted Erik to go into the family business, but his natural talent as a footballer saw him go down a different path.He played 336 senior league games, 221of which were for FC Twente, where he retired from in 2002.In that time he scored 15 league goals, his playing career also including stints at Utrecht, RKC Waalwijk and two other spells at Twente.Erik ten Hag has constructed a good managerial record.

Manchester United as their next manager to replace Ralf Rangnick - but he does not need the money. In his native Netherlands, the Ten Hags are one of the richest families in the nation where they own a real estate company and several other financial firms. Erik's brother Michel is the current chairman of the board.Erik's two brothers, Michel and Rico, run the business now that has been denoted as the biggest estate company in the eastern Dutch region.

Ralf Rangnick. United suffered another blow to their Champions League hopes after losing 1-0 at Everton on Saturday while recent reports suggest Ronaldo could seek a move away from the club in the summer in order to help him win another Ballon d'Or before his career ends as well as adding more silverware to his trophy cabinet. That would leave United needing to replace club legend Ronaldo's goals and creativity in their starting XI.

Manchester United are in desperate need of a new manager to resolve their ongoing troubles, and the Red Devils have been urged to appoint a boss who "doesn't take s*** from anyone."United are thought to be close to appointing Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as their new long-term manager in the summer, as Ralf Rangnick's interim position ends on June 1. The Red Devils have been without a concrete boss since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was dismissed towards the end of last year.But United have been urged to alter their approach as they continue their search for the ideal candidate, suggesting that Ten Hag may not be what they need after all.

Manchester City.The Hungarian admitted that in 2008 while at Tottenham he had a choice of the two clubs in Manchester - but that his intermediary’s choice of going to City really irked him. The former striker, 41, has claimed that he did not want to move to the Citizens, but instead be working under Sir Alex Ferguson and playing for the United ‘badge’.Speaking to the Athletic on video, he said: “It was a true story because I can be really direct when I want to be, and as I said before, I follow my own path and along the way of course there will be people who are disappointed in my decision, like the Spurs fans were when I decided to go and follow my dream.“But then getting close to that dream we get that call from City giving their proposition to my agent.

His dad, Wayne Rooney, 36, is one of the world’s best footballers, and it looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as Wayne and Coleen Rooney’s son, Klay, eight, headed off to a Manchester United football tournament. Proud mum-of-four, Coleen, 35, posted a photo of the aspiring footballer to her Instagram account, gushing: “First tournament away. Good luck Klay”.The eight year old was the spitting image of his famous father as he could be seen looking shyly into the camera.

Ralf Rangnick was reportedly ‘amazed’ Manchester United had no scouting reports on RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku.The German, 63, is a former boss of the player’s side and knows all about the Frenchman’s ability.

Manchester United's offer for the job. The Red Devils are scouring for a new manager after sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer earlier this season and would ideally like someone in place before the campaign comes to an end.

Manchester United may be closing in on appointing Erik ten Hag as their new manager but they face a late hijack from RB Leipzig, according to reports.The Red Devils have interviewed Ten Hag over their summer vacancy, with Ralf Rangnick's stint as interim manager set to end on June 1. And the Dutchman has been identified as one of their primary targets along with Paris Saint Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino.But it appears that they're not the only side interested in the Ajax boss, as RB Leipzig have also made a late attempt.
