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.

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?
